Bentley S1 (1958)

SALE AGREED

A correct, undisturbed and very appealing example of a late S1, benefiting from power steering. The car was with one owner from 1969 to 2015, much of that time unused, which, in conjunction with various paperwork in the car’s file, leads us to believe that the mileage showing of 98,000 is genuine. Finished in delightful Velvet Green, so dark it almost looks black, with original beige leather interior in excellent condition, still soft, and with no rips or tears. The woodwork is appealingly original, and the chrome is all in good order too. Complete with a virtually unused, original toolkit. Not a pristine car, but if you appreciate originality and the importance of structural solidity, together with lovely, mature yet smart cosmetics, with patina & character, this will very likely be of interest to you. The car drives very nicely, with a quiet, smooth engine, offered serviced, prepared and ready to use & enjoy. Nice, short registration number as well!



Chassis No. B49FD Reg. No.VXK 10 £35,000.


Snippets: Veterinary Chemists
Delivered to Mr Davey at Chapman & Frearson Ltd of Grimsby, Veterinary Chemists whose origins can be traced back to two separate entities – Chapman & Son who in 1902 were cattle oil manufacturers and to Cyril Douglas Frearson (Chemist). Their patents included Bovinyl, Bescondi (1926) and Haystat. Frearson’s premises in Grimsby had been built by Baron Sir Alec Black (1872/1942) (fishing trawler owner) as fishing premises & during WWI were used as a national shell company. Sir Alec was a gentleman of character who also owned racehorses and items of art – including “The Painted Bridge” by the Edinburgh artist Sir William Russell Flint. In the 1980s the Chapman & Frearson herd of pedigree Hereford Cattle produced “Riblong Lady Driver” who was runner up at the Royal Highland Show in 1986.
