Coachbuilt for Hollywood Royalty—1955 Bentley S1 by Freestone & Webb

Born in England, raised in Hollywood. We are not speaking of a famous movie actor, but of a very special Bentley S1.

This handsome Bentley’s story, bearing chassis number B202LAN, begins when it left the Bentley factory in Crewe, in 1955, to be delivered to the waiting craftsmen and designers of the famed coachbuilder’s workshops at Freestone and Webb, located in Brentfield Road, Willesden, North London. This was the year the Bentley S1 and Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud were first introduced, presenting a new canvas for coachbuilders on which to paint.
