- Everything about the Bentley Continental S2 Flying Spur underlines its quiet sense of class. Fitted with exquisite leather seats and a dashboard made of burl wood, it's a vintage car that still measures up to many of its modernday counterparts. And Bentley cars are still among the most reliable on the market, which is why so many of them are still on the roads after decades. For more go to www.dw.de/program/drive-it/s-9...

The S2 Continental is simply the most perfectly proportioned car ever made. Utterly elegant. They did a 2 door version too - Mulliner made only 71 of them.
+Ag Photographic One of those 71, in BRG, was owned along the road from us in the 70s', and 80s' up in the NE of England. I tried to persuade my father to buy it but he was happy with his Silver Shadow, new, back in the 70s'. The mulliner 2 door evidently needed a lot of work doing to it and went eventually to a London dealer. The proportions of the 2 door are perfect. The Mulliner, in this video has been superbly restored and hopefully I might see it sometime as I live near to Bad Tölz in Bavaria.
the two door saloon my Father had one

I do feel for you I have also loost a car like that and in my case it Was a Bentley T my Father was happy with
I wouldn’t leave it on that golf course for too long. Aluminium dents rather well !
Thank you very much!
Truly great car.
I assume that they suffered the same crankshaft failures that other S2's did. Too bad. That particular problem was eventually corrected.
was it a powerful car to drive
Same age as my wife.
They used aluminum post-war because steel was in short supply, not for any performance benefits. That hardwood is a veneer over cheaper softwood, it is not “hewn” as the know-nothing narrator says. I swear he is just making it up as he goes along.
That so? this car is a cuple of hundred KG less weight and a stronger engine
Painted part of the car weights 300kg compare that with the standard steel body
and try to figure wat this did tp acceleration and roadholding
I will not tell You how fast 0-100 km/h was You wold not believe it and R-R did not want it to be spread out fore some strange reason
I am grown up in a car like that one a 2 door saloon
