SANS RÉSERVE

The prestigious car brand, now owned by Volkswagen and known for its luxury and racing cars, was founded on 18 January 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley.

Its headquarters are in Cricklewood, north London.

Bentley won five victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 1920s with a car powered by a formidable 3-litre 6-cylinder overhead camshaft engine.
The consequences of the 1929 crisis led to the end of Bentley’s independence, and it fell into the hands of Rolls-Royce in 1931.
From then on, the development of the two brands would be inseparable.

The ‘S’ series was launched in 1955 with the S1
replacing the R.

The designation S1 was given retrospectively to distinguish it from the S2 and S3 that would follow.

The Bentley S1 was the last car of the brand to be powered by a 6-cylinder in-line engine.

Aesthetically, the S1 was very similar to its cousin, the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud.
