Nothing looks like a 1959 Bentley S1 Saloon … except, of course, a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud 1, which looks almost exactly the same, the only differences being the radiator grill and badging—that’s it!

Photographs of the 1959 Bentley S1

At the time of these photographs, this 1959 Bentley S1 Saloon was part of the collection of Leonard Johnson in Colorado. Though the body and interior were original Bentley, the 4.9 liter, in-line 6-cylinder engine had been replaced with a V8 from a late-model Cadillac. Here are a few photos from the photoshoot.

About the photos

This car was photographed on top of a parking garage in boulder, Colorado. The goal of the shoot was to get a nice selections of photos to use in an auction listing. In addition, we were asked to design and create a poster to be auctioned at a charity event.  The poster is included in the gallery above.
