Summary
This rare 1956 Bentley S1 is one of only 40 Hooper-bodied "Empress" saloons, and one of three produced with rear wheel spats, featuring long-term American family ownership since the 1960s. It boasts unique features like rear-hinged back doors, power front windows, rear picnic trays, and a period His Master’s Voice radio. The car shows 35k miles on the odometer, though true mileage is unknown, with noted wear on seating surfaces, paint imperfections, and crazing in the wood trim.
