...We are very pleased to offer here a 1958 Bentley S1, Right Hand Drive Standard Steel Saloon. A production figure of only 3538 with possibly half that number remaining ensures that despite a totally recognizable profile, cars of this type are very rarely seen on the road.

It shows 22,417  miles, black with parchment leather. The paint is in excellent to near mint condition.  Interior leather and wood are also excellent. Chrome bumpers and body fittings also excel, near flawless.

The timeless dashboard design here includes excellent wood, and all working gauges, during our testing process. Even the radio turns on (!!)  The oil pressure and temperature gauges all showed proper readings - this particular car was a very rewarding car to drive during our test and adjustment sessions. Our Rolls-Royce / Bentley Expert reported a clean bill of health as well as being very responsive to all the minor adjustments he was making. (On the other hand, he complains loudly when a car is resistant to his expert touch...)

The 4.9 liter engine, as originally installed in this car, is the latest and largest displacement version of this classic design. It appears to have either very low mileage ( as indicated) or a rebuilt engine. Normally the lower engine would have a throrough covering of grease / grime -- however this car has virtually NO coating , in some areas the aluminum castings being completely clear. We did no cleaning in these engine areas, to preserve the condition, so to speak. Other areas on the car that also indicate low mileage include original  dash + interior wood, original headliner, and original leather hides in the interior.

The SU carburetors operate properly, providing the engine with smooth acceleration and running characteristics. The car pulls very strongly, keeping up with any traffic. Enjoyment plus..... photo DSCN1166_zps0817d6e3.jpg

The Rolls-Royce / Hydramatic 4 speed automatic transmission shifts perfectly, also lending credence to an original low mileage. Crisp, positive shifts every time add to the  driving experience.

New original specification Goodyear wide whitewall tires ($$$) add to the overall look... photo DSCN1220_zps08da9c8f.jpg

All headlights, driving /fog  lights, tail / brake / signal lights operate properly, as well as all dashboard and interior lights.  photo DSCN1208_zps3c9b4f13.jpg

The Summary :  We LOVE the car and know the next owner / operator will also. It is a very strong, well cared for car that is among the very best example we have ever seen. We invite and encourage an independent inspection to verify the condition of the car. Whether going to a Car Show, a private garage, or a road trip, we know the car is capable. We have owned, enjoyed and improved the car and have no reservations about offering the car here. Thanks for looking. photo DSCN1204_zpsa466ce76.jpg photo DSCN1229_zpsc8d716bc.jpg photo DSCN1245_zpse6404b57.jpg photo DSCN1231_zps2c428e95.jpg photo DSCN1249_zpsc633a378.jpg photo DSCN1252_zps70569989.jpg photo DSCN1237_zps8f9e183e.jpg photo DSCN1265_zps72b3c871.jpg photo DSCN1225_zps4a17e4c6.jpg photo DSCN1257_zps6923834e.jpg photo DSCN1227_zps53f71330.jpg photo DSCN1270_zps745dab14.jpg photo DSCN1199_zpsf73a6067.jpg

Wolfgang D?rheimer retakes the reins at Bentley and Bugatti

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Wolfgang Dürheimer is still in play, with Bentley Motors announcing that he will return to the Chairman and CEO slot of the English company and French division Bugatti on June 1, 2014. He'll probably remember those chairs from the last time he filled them, since he was promoted to both positions in 2010 and remained there until September 2012, when he was installed as the head of R&D at Audi. That job only lasted until June of 2013, his nine-month tenure reported to be full of corporate drama that lead to his dismissal from the position.
But as if on gardening leave, he's been in the low-profile position of General Representative of the Volkswagen Group responsible for motorsport. Once back at Bentley, he will take over as the company works on getting its SUV to market and expanding its range. Both of those briefs Dürheimer will know well, having proved his ability at Porsche in the first decade of the new millennium. And even though no longer at Audi, his hybrid days don't appear to be over, as Bentley recently announced that it will hybridize of 90 percent of its lineup.
Dürheimer will also take on a third position, joining a VW Group committee focused on the US and Chinese markets. His successor at Bentley and Bugatti, Wolfgang Schreiber, has been promoted to "a leading position within the Volkswagen Group." There's a brief press release below with the official words.

Bentley is celebrating the 90th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans with two special edition model. Both the Mulsanne and Continental lines can now be fitted with six new specification packages to mark the event, each named after a famous racer from the automaker's past. Each package one combines select exterior colors with with special interior combinations that pay homage to the gents who took the company's cars to victory in France.
John Duff, Dudley Benjafield, Woolf Barnato, Tim Birkin, Glen Kidston and Guy Smith all get their own namesake packages. You can see the full run down in the press release below. So far, there's no indication as to exactly how much each pack will cost, but we have a hard time imagining a dollar figure scaring off any potential buyers.

'Rich Kid of Instagram' victim of supercar arsonists

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

A 19-year-old in the UK is smarting after the possibility that his prolific social media use may be at the heart of four family-owned supercars going up in flames in barely a week. Aleem Iqbal has thousands of followers on Twitter and Instagram paying attention to his frequent posts about the high-priced cars he's driving. He's even been featured on the Tumblr page Rich Kids of Instagram. It appears that some people might not be so smitten with him, though.
According to his Twitter profile, Iqbal owns Platinum Executive Travel, a luxury car rental company in the England, and UK newspaper The Telegraph claims the company is also owned by Iqbal's father. On June 6, cameras caught three hooded men setting fire to a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster leased by the company for a wedding. A few days later, two Audi R8 Spyders and a Bentley Continental Flying Spur from Platinum also got the torch, and two men were caught on camera setting the blaze. Nobody was hurt in either of the attacks, and the Aventador appeared to be repairable with the fire causing most damage to the passenger seat and dashboard. Police are still investigating both of the crimes.
According to The Telegraph, Iqbal believes that the arsons could have stemmed from jealousy towards him and his family's business. Regardless, setting fire to a bunch of cars that are likely insured isn't a great way to show displeasure.
