The Bentley S1 was announced at the end of April 1955. The new standard steel saloon replaced the R type standard steel saloon which had been in production since 1946.

Having a totally new external appearance, although with the traditional radiator grille. The engine capacity was increased to 4887cc, and a four-speed automatic gearbox was standard, with ability to select individual ratios.
