Beautiful S2 CH vehicle (Schmohl delivery), with FIVA Identity Card
€
The Bentley S2 from 1962 stands for one of the most important eras in luxury automobile history. With the new 6.2 liter V8 engine, automatic transmission and extensive comfort, it set new standards in performance and elegance. A total of around 2,300 Bentley S2s were built, including all variants. This makes it one of the comparatively rare Bentley models. The most important innovation of the Bentley S2 was the introduction of the newly developed aluminum V8 engine. Until then, Bentley had used a large-volume in-line six-cylinder engine, the design of which dated back to the pre-war period. With the 6.2-liter V8, Bentley took a technological step into the modern age.
This changed the character of the vehicle. The S2 was less sporty and raw than earlier Bentleys, but more superior, quieter and more comfortable. Just what the customers of the time wanted.
Delivery via Schmohl AG in Zurich also links this vehicle with the local Swiss automotive tradition and shows how exclusive British vehicles gained a foothold in Switzerland early on.
From today's perspective, the Bentley S2 is regarded as a particularly elegant classic. It combines:
- classic lines of the 1950s
- modern technology of the 1960s
- high quality workmanship and timeless restraint
Vehicles with a traceable history, original condition and from renowned dealers such as Schmohl in Zurich enjoy a high reputation among collectors.
The Bentley is well maintained (invoices from renowned garages are available) and will of course be freshly presented with a veteran's registration at the time of sale. An appraisal for over CHF 110,000 is available.
Extensive accessories and documents on the history of the vehicle, valuation reports, original brochures and much more.
