To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The
S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019.
Estimate:
€40,000 - €60,000
- Patinated interior, full of character
- Sold with copies of the original build sheets
The all-new Silver Cloud and Bentley S-Type were introduced in
early 1955 as replacements for the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn and
Bentley R-Type. Fast, relatively economical, and cheaper to
maintain than the V-8-engined successors, the elegant S-Type is
arguably the most user-friendly of all post-war Bentleys.
According to its original build sheet, B285EK was specified in
Black Pearl Valspar with a single deep red line, red hide with red
piping, a fawn headcloth, and a maroon carpet. However, it appears
that this was changed to Shell Grey over Black Pearl Valspar on the
build sheet. Required by its first owner on 1 September 1957, this
imposing car surely didn't disappoint. Now more than 60 years old,
the car retains many original features, including the supplying
dealer plate of W M Couper Ltd and what is very likely its original
interior. This stunning S1 Saloon demands to be used and is far
from ready for retirement.
- Interior com p�tina, repleto de personalidade
- Vendido com c�pias das fichas de fabrico originais
O nov�ssimo Silver Cloud e o Bentley S-Type foram introduzidos no
in�cio de 1955 como substitutos do Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn e do
Bentley R-Type. R�pido, relativamente econ�mico e com manuten��o
mais simples do que os sucessores com motores V8, o elegante S-Type
� sem d�vida o mais f�cil de usar de todos os Bentley do
p�s-Guerra.
De acordo com a sua ficha de fabrico, o B285EK foi especificado em
preto Black Pearl Valspar com uma �nica faixa em vermelho escuro,
couro encarnado com rebordos da mesma cor, forro de teto fulvo e
tapetes vermelho escuro. No entanto, parece que foi alterado para
cinza Shell Gray sobre preto Black Pearl Valspar na ficha de
fabrico. Entregue ao seu primeiro propriet�rio a 1 de setembro de
1957, este autom�vel imponente certamente n�o dececionou. Agora,
com mais de 60 anos de idade, mant�m muitas caracter�sticas
originais, incluindo a placa do distribuidor de W M Couper Ltd e,
provavelmente, o interior original. Este impressionante S1 Saloon
pede para ser usado e est� longe de pensar na reforma.To view this
car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit
