This 1960 Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spur by H.J. Mulliner is a
highly original, concours-recognized example that has been
preserved with care and authenticity throughout its life.The 1960
Bentley S2 Continental represented a pivotal moment in the marques
evolution, introducing the new 6,230-cc all-aluminum V-8 engine
while preserving the companys tradition of refined sporting
character. Among the most compelling of these models was H.J.
Mulliners Style 7508 Flying Spur, a four-door saloon whose
close-coupled lines and sculpted rear fenders prefigured the modern
four-door coup. One of only 49 left-hand-drive examples produced
between 1960 and 1962, chassis BC66LAR remains a highly original
Bentley that has earned concours recognition while being maintained
in superb condition. This Bentley was first delivered on 26 May
1960 to Dr. George Westgate, finished in Medium Grey with Blue Grey
leather interior, a color scheme that it continues to wear today.
Dr. Westgate was the first owner of a matching Mulliner
Convertible, reflecting the elegance of his collection. By the late
1980s, the Bentley had earned a 1987 RROC National Award, with the
corresponding plaque still mounted on the dashboard, before
entering the inventory of respected UK sales and restoration
specialist, P.J. Fischer, who performed a careful cosmetic and
mechanical review. Subsequently exported to Sweden and updated with
a kilometer-based odometer, the Bentley was preserved by a
conscientious owner until its recent return. The odometer currently
shows 98,346 kilometers (61,109 miles), showing minimal use since
the 93,360 kilometers recorded in Mr. Fischers 1989 inspection
report. The exterior retains its original Medium Grey finish,
presenting today with depth and luster befitting a concours-level
motorcar. Mulliners aluminum coachwork is well-preserved and
remains in excellent condition. The Medium Grey paint is in
excellent condition with the red pinstripe complimenting the color
combination. The chrome accents are in excellent condition. The
Bentley has never suffered accident damage in its 65 year history.
This Bentley is in excellent condition and would be welcome at many
concours events. The interior of this Bentley presents beautifully
with original interior. The original Blue Grey Connoly leather
interior is in great condition showing gorgeous patina with some
heavier wear in high use areas. The Wilton wool grey carpeting is
in great condition overall. The wood veneers have been restored to
exhibit original quality and are in excellent condition. The
instruments are all in working order and this Bentley has had
factory-correct air conditioning installed. The interior of this
Bentley has been wonderfully maintained and is ready to be enjoyed!
Mechanically, chassis BC66LAR benefits from the powerful and
refined 6.2-liter V-8 paired with a four speed Hydramatic automatic
transmission and power steering. The Bentley has been recently
serviced and starts easily warm or cold with a drive feeling tight
with no unwanted noises. This Continental has never required a full
restoration, instead benefiting from sensitive updates and expert
care. This Bentley comes with Mulliners special tool box, correct
handbooks, and complete factory documentation further reinforcing
its authenticity. Recent concours recognition includes First Place
in the Postwar Rolls-Royce & Bentley class at the Boca Raton
Concours dElegance. For more details and information, please text,
