AI Listing Summary
This 1956 Bentley S1 Continental Fastback is a rare, right-hand drive example with coachwork by H J Mulliner. Restored in the late 90s and recently recommissioned, it features a repaint, re-upholstered interior, and significant mechanical work, including a transmission overhaul and new tires.
Condition
8
The car has been professionally restored and extensively recommissioned by marque specialists, with significant recent mechanical work. However, it's not in perfect 'Pristine' condition due to the restoration dating back to the 1990s and signs of storage in Japan. The car is in excellent condition with minimal cosmetic imperfections due to the repaint, re-upholstered interior, and re-plating of chromework.
