1959 Bentley S1 Continental Flying Spur coachwork by H.J.Mulliner, posed outside the amazing grade 1 listed Bodrhyddan Hall, The home of the Lords Langford for over 500 years.
The Bentley is owned by Lord Langford estates.


Its a heady 4.9 litre straight six high compression engine, automatic transmission with power steering and high ratio back axle.

The Bentley S1 Continental was one of the most desirable cars of its generation and was capable of conveying four people at 100mph in total comfort and safety. 
At first it was only available in two door form-the four door Flying Spur was introduced in 1957. 
The bodies were handcrafted in aluminium on a lightweight allow frame by the master coachbuilders H.J.Mulliner of London. 
The quality of these cars is a joy to behold and they are still just as capable and enjoyable to drive today as they were in the 1950s. 
Their exclusivity was ensured by an initial purchase price of £7,500- the price of a country house at the time. In total only 35 right hand drive Flying Spurs were built to this design.
This particular example is traditionally painted in Regal red with a sandstone coloured hide upholstery.
