Mulliner and Park Ward. This specific example is a high-quality recreation of a Continental Coupé, built on the basis of an original Bentley S1 Limousine from 1959. The car underwent a thorough restoration in 2023 by Hooper International in Arnhem. There is extensive restoration documentation available, including a 2023 invoice of over €66,000 and a USB stick with around 400 restoration photos. EXTERIOR: The bodywork is in a beautiful and very well-maintained condition, finished in the classic Mason's Black. The gaps and panel lines follow the streamlined Continental Coupé design. The chrome work around is in excellent condition. The paint has a lovely shine, though there are a few very light cosmetic imperfections. The panel gaps are exceptionally neat. INTERIOR: The interior is in very good condition and finished with deep red leather upholstery and authentically veneered woodwork. All details have been restored with a strong regard for history, including the windshield wiper motor which has been completely dismantled and refurbished, and the installation of a completely renewed wiring harness. ENGINE & TECHNICAL: Under the hood sits the classic 4.9-liter inline-six engine, paired with a smoothly shifting four-speed automatic transmission. The engine has been restored to the finest detail, showing excellent oil pressure, runs beautifully, and provides a quiet, powerful driving experience. The technology features F-series updates, such as upgraded brake boosters, modified rear damper mounting, grease-lubricated steering rods, and dual windscreen washers. New brake cylinders have also been installed. The car is in excellent driving condition. DOCUMENTS: The vehicle is delivered with extensive documentation, including a restoration invoice of over €66,000 from 2023, an official appraisal report from 2023, and a USB stick with approximately 400 photos of the restoration process. The vehicle can be viewed and collected in Mook, the Netherlands. Bids exclude transport and export, unless otherwise stated. Arranging transport, ownership transfer, and any export documents/COC costs is the buyer’s responsibility.
