Summary
This 1956 Bentley S1 Continental Drophead Coupe by Park Ward, chassis BC54LAF, is one of only 31 factory left-hand-drive examples, featuring a fully custom body by Park Ward rather than an adaptation. It is considered the most desirable S1 Continental body style, prized for its simpler, lighter, and quicker performance compared to later V8 models, while retaining luxurious comfort. Copies of factory build information confirm its original equipment, including sealed-beam headlamps and whitewall tires, which remain present.
