Vehicle Description
1960 BENTLEY S2 CONTINENTAL H.J. MULLINER STYLE 7508 FLYING SPUR
#BC66LAR 97,387 MILES
One of only 49 left drive examples built from 1960-1962, this
aluminum bodied example of the coachbuilders art was first
delivered to Dr. George Westgate on 26, May 1960, finished in a
very elegant color layout of Medium Grey with matching Blue Grey
hides, as it appears today. Dr. Westgate was also the owner of a
very elegant Style 7484 H.J. Mulliner Convertible finished to
match.
During the late 1980s after capturing the 1987 RROC National Award
corresponding to the plaque still on the dashboard, it found its
way to the stable of the highly respected UK sales and restoration
facility of P.J. Fischer who reportedly and evidently carried out a
high quality cosmetic and mechanical review of the automobile
before selling it on to a careful individual in Sweden, from whom
it was recently acquired. The kilometers per hour speedometer
currently in place was required for operation in that country. The
odometer reading was 97,353 miles as stated by the seller from whom
we received it. The 1989 P.J. Fischer inspection report shows
93,360 miles at that time.
Correct handbooks and complete tools, the small ones in their
special Mulliner box accompany the automobile along with copies of
the factory and coachwork records. The original chassis, engine and
body have never been separated from each other and there are no
collisions or other horror stories in its 58 year history.
If desired, air conditioning can be installed at an additional
cost. Although prepared in the same fashion for sake of originality
of appearance, the technology available today did not exist at the
time of manufacture, hence the systems are much more efficient.

UPDATE: Although never fully restored, this automobile was awarded
First Place honors in the Postwar Rolls-Royce and Bentley Class at
the 2016 Boca Raton Concours d Elegance. The Tiffany glass trophy
shown in the photos will accompany the car to its next home.
