1957 Bentley Continental S1 Drophead Coupe

This Bentley S1 Continental is a well-documented late specification specimen and one of just 31 left-hand drives built between 1955 and 1959. It was delivered in 1957 to Baroness Pannonica Rothschild de Koeningswater. Upon her demise in 1988, ownership of the car passed to her son, who kept it in storage until 1994 when he had it shipped to a UK specialist facility for a complete restoration. In 2001, upon its return to the United States, it was acquired by Vantage Motorworks, Inc., the Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists located in Miami. This fine high-speed performance is now complete with tools, a handbook and copious documentation of the fascinating life of the original owner.
