For Sale at Auction: 1955 Bentley S1 in Scottsdale, Arizona

Originally owned by Hollywood producer Jack Warner (Warner Bros.), this is one of seven built by Freestone & Webb with design #3.191. It has a known ownership history from 1955 until the present day. A three-owner original California car, it has undergone a Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance-quality restoration. This extraordinary car was ordered new by Hollywood producer Jack Warner. Jack Warner was the president and driving force behind the Warner Bros. Studios in Hollywood, CA. Mr. Warner enjoyed the car from 1955 until his death in 1978. During that time, he drove this car 43,000 miles. It has the distinction of being a feature car in the 1964 Warner Bros. movie "Dead Ringer." The car became available in 1990 after the passing of Jack Warner's wife, Ann Page Alvarado Warner. Vantage Motorworks purchased the car from the Warner estate sale in 1990 and shortly after performed a complete restoration. The Blackhawk Collection purchased this beautiful example in 2002 and was immediately put on display at the Blackhawk Museum. In 2008, this three-owner original California car was freshened up by world-renowned restorer Fennel Restorations in Saugus, CA. This car has the luxury of getting many custom features that Mr. Warner ordered exclusively, which include front and rear air conditioning, power steering, power antenna, unique rear defroster and unique rear passenger trays with a vanity mirror. This example, one of the most sought-after of all postwar Bentleys, has the distinction of being the first left-hand-drive S1 built, plus it is the only left-hand-drive example by Freestone & Webb with design 3191FA. Automatic transmission.
