1956 Bentley S1 Continental H.J. Mulliner Fastback

Registration number: VL82A (Austrian)

Chassis number: BC53AF

Under long term ownership for several decades, this car is a low mileage example having covered 97,000 miles. It is a very early example with single master cylinder having been registered first in January of 1956. It currently resides in Austria as part of a small collection of iconic high end cars all in superb condition & maintained without regard to cost.

The car is finished in its original colour of Midnight blue with the paint having been redone to a very high standard. The body lines are crisp & razor sharp with no ripples whatsoever. The interior is particularly nice being of the original cream leather throughout & again is in very fine order as is the burr walnut woodwork.

Mechanically the car has been maintained wihout regard to expense & is in superb condition driving simply beautifully. Currently on Austrian Plates the car may be driven on them to its new home or alternatively we can UK register it for the new owner & deliver it by trailer from the owners garage in Austria.

A big history file comes with the car with numerous bills detailing the care lavished upon it over the years. Viewings are by appointment near Villach.
