To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The
S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019.
Estimate:
€130,000 - €160,000
- Recent cosmetic refresh
- RHD example, delivered new to the UK
- Fitted with a later S3-style nose
The Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spur offered here was completed
by the factory in September of 1960 and built as a right-hand-drive
example. It is noted as being delivered to the UK market and
purchased new by H Stenhouse. At some point, the car's front end
was revised to have a quad-headlight nose from the later S3
Continental. Bentley themselves converted some S2s to have S3-style
noses in-house, although it is not known if this car's conversion
was done by Bentley.
Previous UK MoT's from the 1980s and 1990s accompany the car's
history file, and the S2 has remained in Portugal for at least the
past five years. More recently, the car has just received some
cosmetic work, which included a repaint in its present dark
blue.
Still considered stately and attractive nearly six decades after
leaving the factory, this Bentley S2 would impress wherever it
goes.
- Recente interven��o cosm�tica
- Exemplar de condu��o � direita, entregue novo no Reino
Unido
- Recebeu sec��o dianteira mais moderna do S3
O Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spur aqui apresentado saiu da
f�brica em setembro de 1960, com volante � direita. Est�
documentado que foi especificado para o mercado brit�nico, tendo
sido comprado por H. Stenhouse. A certa altura da sua hist�ria a
sua sec��o dianteira foi atualizada com os quatro far�is t�picos do
modelo posterior, o S3 Continental. Sabe-se que a pr�pria Bentley
converteu a frente de alguns S2 em S3, mas n�o se apurou se � o
caso deste exemplar.
Est�o inclu�dos na sua documenta��o alguns certificados de inspe��o
do Reino Unido, nos anos 80 e 90, e este S2 est� em Portugal, pelo
menos, h� cinco anos. Mais recentemente recebeu uma interven��o
cosm�tica, que incluiu a pintura no azul escuro atual.
Continuando a ser imponente e belo, quase seis d�cadas depois de
ser produzido, este Bentley S2 causar� impacto aonde quer que v�.
