This is a masterfully executed homage to what many regard as one of the most beautiful British coupés ever created. While original Continentals have become virtually unobtainable collector’s items, this example offers a rare and compelling alternative: the looks, the presence, and the experience of a 1950s Bentley icon, combined with a level of technical refinement and reliability that would even satisfy the most discerning purist.

Built on the solid foundation of a Bentley S1 Limousine—already a car of considerable stature—this “Special” was crafted with exceptional attention to detail and deep respect for tradition by a renowned Dutch Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist. This is not a hurried project or a superficial conversion, but a carefully conceived, coachbuilt creation that fully deserves the Continental name. The fastback silhouette, inspired by the legendary Park Ward Coupés, is simply breathtaking. The build quality is outstanding, and the level of detail is exceptionally high. We invite you to view the photographs on our website for a full impression.

Finished in classic Mason’s Black and paired with a striking red leather interior and beautifully executed woodwork, this Bentley exudes both elegance and restraint. It is a car for those who understand that true luxury does not shout—it whispers. Everything about the interior invites you to settle in and cover long distances in unhurried comfort. That, after all, is precisely what the Continental was built for.

Beneath the long hood lies carefully maintained mechanical substance. Thanks to a recent engine overhaul and comprehensive servicing, this “Special” is in excellent condition and ready for any journey. It drives superbly and offers an exceptionally comfortable experience. The automatic transmission shifts with a smoothness and composure rarely encountered today.

Within the Bentley world, original Continentals have long been the preserve of an elite few. The rise of expertly built “Specials,” however, has added an exciting new dimension: cars that lose nothing in terms of style or presence, yet are usable, reliable, and in many cases even more refined than their illustrious inspirations. Among Bentley Drivers, this evolution is no longer merely accepted—it is embraced.

The Bentley S1 Continental Fastback Coupé “Special” is a tribute. A rolling celebration of British elegance, built with passion, expertise, and courage. For those who dare to choose style beyond the conventional path.
