Story

The S1 was the first model in the S series and marked Bentley's transition from separate chassis construction to a unitary body design.

The Bentley S1 was typically powered by a 4.9-liter straight-six engine.

Bentley cars of this era were known for their luxurious interiors and attention to craftsmanship.

The S1 DHC would have featured high-quality materials in its cabin, including fine leather and wood trim.

Bentley cars from this period were often coachbuilt, meaning that the chassis and drivetrain were supplied by Bentley, and the bodywork was crafted by specialized coachbuilders.

This allowed customers to have a degree of customization in the design of their cars.

The Bentley S1 and its convertible variant, the Drophead Coupe, represented the pinnacle of luxury motoring in the

1950s, catering to an exclusive clientele who sought both performance and sophistication in their automobiles.
