Thats Right.
Another Fantastic NO RESERVE auction brought to you by
Autowerks of Northbrook.
Excellent example of a highly sought after classic 1961 Bentley S 2 RHD.
Overall the car is in excellent condition with a few minor dings on the hood and pass front door from sitting in storage.
This Bentley was stripped to bare metal and repainted in 1995 with the paint being in excellent condition.
Interior is all original.
Car runs. drives and stops like any other 45 year old car.
I will upload a video later.
The Bentley S 2 (and the high-performance Bentley Continental S 2 derived from it) was a luxury car produced by Bentley
from 1959 until 1962. The changed designation S 2 was to mark the new V 8 engine and the improved air conditioning which could now be run from it. Power steering was also standard. and a new dashboard and steering wheel were introduced. Some early S 2 s were built with the earlier S 1 dashboard.
Announced at the beginning of October 1959 [ 1 ]
as with the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II . the S 2 replaced the straight-six engine of the Bentley S 1 with a new aluminium V 8
engine displacing 6. 2 L (6230 cc/380 in³). With this new engine. the S 2 offered significantly better performance than the previous cars.
The cylinder block and heads are cast in aluminum alloy and hydraulic tappets operate the overhead valves. The engine has a compression ratio of 8 to 1 and is fitted with twin carburetors with automatic choke.
Other features available include fully automatic transmission. power-assisted steering. electrically operated ride control. redesigned and more flexible air conditioning. electric rear window demisters and press button window lifts.
