When the Bentley S2 was unveiled at the 1959 London Motor Show
it was a sensation. The Bentley flagship model now boasted a 6.2
Litre V8 engine with power steering and a fully automatic
transmission that now came as standard equipment. The S2
Continental chassis took performance a step further with better
braking, higher gearing for freeway cruising, and increasing the
power output to 200hp, resulting in a car that could be propelled
upwards of 110mph. Rolls-Royce and Bentley initially envisioned the
Continental exclusively as a two-door car but the decision was
taken to sanction the production of a four-door variation. The task
was taken on by English coachbuilder H. J. Mulliner & Company. The
final design by George Moseley was designated 7443 and kept the
name of Mulliner's four-door S1 variant; the Flying Spur. Bentley's
S2 Continental Flying Spur was a four-door sport saloon with
sculpted rear fenders and closer, more attractive coupled lines.
The result offered Continental-level performance with four-door
practicality, a spacious interior and generous sized boot, keeping
the S2 Continental in Bentley's tradition of "the silent sports
car". As such, the Mulliner-built Flying Spur S2 Continentals were
among the most luxurious, stylish, and desirable of all the Bentley
variants.
The 1961 Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spur featured here has been
beautifully restored and is finished in Sage over Brewster Green
with a gorgeous Light Tan leather interior and Burl Walnut
woodwork. It is one of 76 constructed with right-hand drive out of
a total of 128 "Flying Spur" bodied Continentals. It is fitted with
its original 6.2 litre V8 engine and comes with rare rear air
conditioning and power windows. Accompanying this investment-grade
Bentley S2 is its original tool kit, jack and air pump. We are
proud to offer what we believe to be one of the very best Flying
Spurs to the most particular collector or enthusiast who demands
