Overview of 1956 Bentley S1 Series Saloon For Sale by Owner

A classic Bentley from the Fifties is a truly awesome way to experience what sheer luxury motoring was like in the pre-digital era. Their flagship at the time was called the S1, and it was made between 1955 and 1959. To give you an idea of how exclusive the model was, a mere 3,538 units were produced – that’s less than most contemporary supercars today! Today, if you rock up in one of these cars, you’ll definitely command next-level respect and admiration. So why not show everyone around that you’ve made the right choice of classic car by adding this 1956 Bentley S1 to your collection? Because once you start driving (or riding in its rear seat), you’ll find yourself appreciating classic cars to a new degree. You’ll never second-guess your decision, and you’ll realize that a classic Bentley like this is basically like money in the bank which you can enjoy without depreciating if you care for it appropriately.

Exterior and Interior

This 1956 Bentley S1 wears a sleek white coat of paint which really brings out its timeless lines and characteristic style. The car’s gaping circular headlamps give it a pre-war appearance, aided by its tall radiator grille. Moving to the side profile, its haunches give it a stance akin to a cat waiting to pounce. Then, as it rolls by on chrome hubcaps and proper tall-profile tires, you’ll finally see its simple yet attractive rear end design which leaves a very nice parting gift in the shape of silence. Yes, a luxury car of this ilk simply glides by noiselessly. Open a door, enter the red interior of this car and you’ll realize that no amount of digital doodads and tech toys can substitute the feeling of pure, old-school luxury by way of fine materials and finer attention to detail. This right-hand drive 1956 Bentley S1 features proper leather seat upholstery and real wood trim, just like you’d expect if you had purchased this car brand-new at the time. A push-button radio sits in the center console, beneath which lies an aftermarket air conditioning unit, which is a necessary upgrade for any classic car these days.

Engine

The 4.9-liter straight six that moves this 1956 Bentley S1 is a study in peaceful and smooth cruising. The engine drives the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission, in an era when 3-speed units were present in most competitors. Independent suspension and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes are standard for the S1.
