UK - London - Classic 1960 Bentley car on the Kings Road Chelsea

A 1960 Bentley S2 Continental drives down the Kings Road, Chelsea. A couple pass along the street in west London with the roof down, the sun glinting off their bumper (fender) and onto them on a perfect late-summer afternoon. The scene echoes a bygone era when drivers and passengers would parade down here to show off their motors - this still happens today. The Bentley S2 (and the high-performance Bentley Continental S2 derived from it) was a luxury car produced by Bentley from 1959 until 1962. 1,920 standard and long-wheelbase car chassis were built between 1959 and 1962. Almost all were fitted with standard factory bodywork. A number had coachbuilt bodies by Park Ward, Hooper, H. J. Mulliner & Co., and James Young.
