Bentley S1 Continental Flying Spur<\/h2>\n

Today\u2019s Bentley Flying Spur owes its name to coachbuilders H.J. Mulliner, whose inspired idea to offer a four-door body on the Continental chassis created the Continental Flying Spur in 1957. The 1958 example owned by the Heritage Collection offered individual, elegant and swift travel for its succession of proud owners, and was acquired by Bentley Motors in 2004.<\/p>\n

The S-Series Continental<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The S-Series Continental was essentially an updated and improved version of the R-Type template, with a separate chassis, straight-six engine and bodywork by independent coachbuilders. At a time when the standard, factory-bodied S-Series Bentley saloon cost \u00a33,295, owners had to be seriously wealthy to pay more than double for an H.J. Mulliner or Park Ward version. Between 1955 and 1959, 432 S-Series Continentals were bodied by specialist coachbuilders, with H.J. Mulliner accounting for 217. During the same period the factory produced 2,927 standard-body saloons.<\/p>\n

The Four-Door Continental Flying Spur<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most S-Series Continentals were two door models, but H.J. Mulliner backed a hunch that there would be a small but discerning market for a coachbuilt four-door Continental as an alternative to the factory four-door offering. Their design was balanced and elegant, with ample space for four. The new four-door was named by Arthur Talbot Johnstone, H.J. Mulliner\u2019s Managing Director, after the heraldic device of his family, the Clan Johnstone of the Scottish Borders. The first example even featured the Clan Johnston\u2019s spur mascot on its radiator grille. \u00a0Following the success of the H.J. Mulliner Flying Spur, coachbuilder James Young also offered its bespoke interpretation of a four-door Continental.<\/p>\n

The Bentley Collection\u2019s S1 Flying Spur<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The S1 Continental Flying Spur in Bentley\u2019s Lineage Collection is a 1958 H.J. Mulliner model with a 180bhp 4.9 litre straight-six engine, finished in black with grey interior. This example has the optional automatic gearbox and air conditioning. It originally cost \u00a38,034, around ten times the average UK salary at the time. It was commissioned by Birmingham-based engineering firm Guest, Keen and Nettlefold (presumably as Chairman Sir William Peacock\u2019s company vehicle), before passing into the Peacock family in 1964. It is gently patinated but in excellent condition and was an inspiration to the design team at Crewe when creating today\u2019s Flying Spur.<\/p>\n
