Barrie's Bentley called Ben
Take a look at Barrie's Bentley. The photo is just amazing. His is on the right, the Bentley S1 or S2 Continental Flying Spur.

It looks like a period photo from the 1960's, but it is not!
You can really tell the evolution of the current Bentley Continental coupe and the Bentley Continental Flying Spur. They are pretty much that same as these S series.

And now from the front seat. Yes, the photos are from today.
Have a look at the reflections on Ben's bonnet. It is a great shot! (click to enlarge)

Now a rare look at the interior of an S series Continental Flying Spur.

That arm rest looks significant.

That strap will come in handy at pace. There are certainly no seat belts in sight.

The wood work is quite impressive.

The car certainly does have presence. I want one!

I am not quite sure how many Flying Spurs H.J.Mulliner made, but do send in figures if you know.
Thanks Barrie for sharing your car with us.
