Description
The sporty Continental chassis have a long tradition at Bentley. At the time, the R-Type Continental Coupé was regarded as the fastest four-seater in the world. This was followed by the very similar S-Type Continental and the S 2 Continental saw a revolution under the bonnet: the all-new aluminium V8 engine was installed there. This engine design was to last for almost 40 years. Of course there was a Drophead Coupé (DHC), i.e. a convertible, from Park Ward. The modern design came from the Norwegian Vilhelm Koren.
According to the Bentley certificate, our Bentley S 2 Continental Drophead Coupé was delivered in the USA. Only 65 examples were built as left-hand drive models. The classic car now drives in Germany with a historic licence and underwent a major overhaul at a specialist workshop in Hamburg in 2022. These classics are the Bentleys of the post-war era with the most lasting value. Superior driving pleasure combined with great performance is guaranteed!
EXTRAS: electric-hydraulic top; power steering; 2 power windows; car radio; additional headlights; exterior mirror left; whitewall tyres
