Classic Rolls-Royce and Bentley Parts
Bentley Models (1955–1965)
Bentley classics from 1955 to 1965 are among the most iconic and luxurious British cars ever made. Known for their refined engineering, powerful engines, and timeless design, these models remain highly sought-after by enthusiasts and collectors. Explore the full overview of the Bentley S1, S2, and S3, each with its own distinctive features.
Bentley S1 (1955–1959)
The Bentley S1 was introduced in 1955. It featured a 4.9L inline-six engine producing 175 hp, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. With a top speed of approximately 165 km/h, it came equipped with drum brakes on all wheels. Notable features included its traditional and luxurious interior, complete with a wooden dashboard and leather upholstery.
Bentley S2 (1959–1962)
With the introduction of the S2, Bentley entered the era of V8 engines. The 6.25L aluminum V8 delivered around 200 hp and provided a smoother driving experience. This model included a hydraulic brake system with power assistance and optional air conditioning, significantly enhancing comfort.
Bentley S3 (1962–1965)
The Bentley S3 introduced the distinctive twin headlamps while retaining the 6.25L V8 engine. Thanks to an improved compression ratio and optimized carburetor, the engine delivered a more powerful and efficient driving experience. The S3 also featured advanced power steering and a better-balanced chassis for even smoother handling.
Rolls-Royce Models (1955–1965)
Rolls-Royce models from 1955 to 1965 are renowned for their unmatched luxury, craftsmanship, and refined driving experience. The Silver Cloud series ranks among the most popular classics, emphasizing both performance and comfort. For enthusiasts and restorers, parts for the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud are essential to keep these timeless vehicles in top condition.
Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I (1955–1959)
The Silver Cloud I was introduced in 1955. It featured a 4.9L inline-six engine producing 175 hp, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. With a top speed of around 165 km/h, it was equipped with drum brakes all around. Like its Bentley counterpart, it offered a traditional and luxurious interior with a wooden dashboard and leather seats.
Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II (1959–1962)
With the introduction of a 6.2L V8 engine, the Silver Cloud II saw a significant power boost to around 200 hp. This model came with improved power-assisted braking, a hydraulic suspension system, and quieter engine performance, further enhancing driving comfort.
Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III (1962–1965)
Like the Bentley S3, the Silver Cloud III introduced twin headlamps and a more aerodynamic design. The 6.2L V8 received slight enhancements, resulting in smoother acceleration and even quieter operation. High-end variants such as the coachbuilt Flying Spur and the Mulliner Park Ward convertibles are among the most exclusive classics ever produced.
