FIVE PLUS YEARS AND NO-ONE HAS COMMENTED ON THIS CLIP ON THE BENTLEY?? Oh well, I guess I'm the first 'commentor' so here goes. 1959? S2? I believe the S2 series wasn't released until 1960 with the 6.23 litre V8 engine with the 4 speed automatic transmission. (It was ANNOUNCED in 1959 though, as the 1960 model). I had a friend who did own a 1959 build Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 11 here in Sydney, Australia though and I believe it was the first V8 Rolls Royce imported into Australia at that time so this could be correct. Just noticing. At 3:14 you mentioned "Pack Wired" (???), it's pronounced PARK WARD. At 4:32, they are automatic, not manual. Still, overall a lovely car which is well presented. MANY thanks as always for sharing this clip, take care and all the very best.
