The advent of the Bentley Continental with modern styling made the contemporary R-Type look distinctly dated. Something beyond a facelift was required. The resulting S-Type was launched in 1955 to much acclaim, the standard Park Ward body being much greater in size and grandeur compared to the preceding car. The S2 Continental was developed from the S1 on the same chassis and using the aluminium 6 1/4 litre V8 engine in place of the old 6 cylinder 4,887cc unit, made a superb grand touring car.
