S1 Continental
Bentley S1 Continental:
It was announced at the end of April 1955, and it was noted that the existing Continental model would continue. The new standard steel saloon replaced the R type standard steel saloon. Which had been in production, with modifications, since 1946. It was a more generously sized five or six seat saloon with the body manufactured in pressed steel with stressed skin construction. Doors, bonnet and luggage locker lid were of aluminium.
Having a totally new external appearance, although with the traditional radiator grille, the main differences from the R type was three inches longer wheelbase, lower build without reducing headroom and with an enlarged luggage boot, softer suspension with electrically operated control of rear dampers, lighter steering and improved braking
engine capacity increased to 4887cc, the same size as used in the Bentley Continental. Four speed automatic gearbox was standard, with ability to select individual ratios if desired.
