Rare 1961 Bentley Continental S2 Park Ward Drophead Coupe: One of only 125 Produced   

 

This 1961 Bentley S2 Continental Park Ward Drophead Coupe is an excellent original example. Regal red with tan leather interior. RHD. Chassis BC27BY is a three owner car that's just out of an estate after 45 year ownership. One of only 125 total S2 Continentals produced and one of just 35 in 1961. Aluminum open-bodied coachwork by Park Ward. Rolls Royce period brand upgrade kit. The previous owner was a Rolls Royce enthusiast and in the mid 1970s elected to upgrade from Bentley to Rolls emblems including: grille, wheel covers and rear bumper. The original beautiful Bentley drophead coupe grille is included with the sale. The older repaint is showing its age at this point and will need attention. The car is mechanically sound and runs and drives well but was off the road for several years and would benefit from safety inspection for road worthiness. Power top, front windows, and steering. Offered with its original tool kit, jack with handle, lug extension, air pump, spare wheel and manuals. Accompanied by paper file and photo history from 1975 onward as well.  An excellent original example that's ready for minor cosmetics and servicing. A wonderful and rare opportunity to own an incredibly collectible and desirable Bentley Continental S2 Park Ward Drophead.
