1959 LHD Bentley S1 Saloon B122LGC Photo

A truly lovely example of a rare and desirable. left hand drive. late series S 1. and as such. incorporating upgrades such as power assisted steering and electric windows. Very importantly. the chassis and underside are in excellent. sound condition. as is the body itself. which underwent a high quality re-spray in recent times in original black. Particularly outstanding on this car is the interior. in lovely red leather. hich looks too good to be original. but almost certainly is! If you appreciate originality. you will find it hard to find one of these cars with a better interior than this.

The toolkit appears to be unused. and is in excellent condition. virtually like new. even the Sorbo rubber insert is excellent and still soft! After a lifetime in Canada. the car is now back in its country of manufacture. and offered. serviced. prepared. driving very nicely. UK registered and Mo T tested. A wonderful example of a very useable car with a sought after specification.

Chassis No. B 122 LGC.

Reg No. TBA.

Snippets: The Brewers of New Brunswick Kingsclear Trading took delivery of B 122 LGC at Fredericton in New Brunswick.

The Brewer family have a long history associated with the area which dates back to the 17 th Century and their family connections include the Haines. the Tufts. the Boones and the Allens with many business & marriage connections.

In the 19 th Century Jared Boone & Whitman Brewer were related by both marriage and as business partners – they were wharf & bridge builders and Douglas J. Brewer who ordered B 122 LGC was their direct descendant and also a building contractor.

D. J. Brewer died within two years of purchasing the car and B 122 LGC was then acquired by Mr Fownes - President of Mc Cready Pickle Company.

The firm can be dated back to 1883 when it was known as Thomas Mc Cready & Son. they continued to produce vinegars. pickles. sauces and syrups until the 1960 s when Mc Cready's ceased trading.
