Emily - 1958 Bentley in Oxford Blue

All our vintage wedding cars are given names and this lady of elegance is Emily. In her past she had royal connections and is now fifty-three years old and still in immaculate condition.  Pierce Brosnan was impressed with our Emily.  Click Here to See.

Emily is a Bentley Series S version 1 now known as the Bentley S1. She was registered in 1958 where she is finished in a beautiful oxford blue colour (a very deep blue).

The shine to the paintwork is so deep that it reflects its surroundings as seen in the photograph. The interior as shown below has all the usual refinements that have made Rolls-Royce and Bentley the most luxurious cars in the world and so well suited as for bridal transport.

Your wedding or other special occasion will be complimented by the elegance and class imparted by this superb example of the finest of Classic motor cars ever manufactured. Where additional vehicles are required, such as for your bridesmaids, a wonderful supporting car is the classic Jaguar S-Type with similar lines. We are able to provide you with one of these in an identical colour to this vehicle. Click here to get an idea as to how these two vehicles match so wonderfully and not just in colour, but style also.

For the latter journey, cocktail tables are built into the rear of the front seats should you wish for that first drink as husband and wife. Most of our vehicles are supplied with lambs wool floor rugs. In the case of this vehicle they are in either deep cherry red or cream depending on weather conditions.

And some history about the Bentley S Series. First introduced in 1955, the Bentley S-Type was a larger car than the R-Type that it replaced which was really a late 40s design. The S1s power came from an enlarged version of the R-Types six cylinder engine. Early cars were available with manual transmission, however most cars had a four speed automatic gearbox, power steering was only available from 1956 (much needed!).

The engine capacity is 4887cc where the car has a top speed of 120mph reaching 60 in 12.9 seconds.  Fuel consumption is 12 mpg. Between 1955-1959, 3172 were produced where many of them still exist and are frequently used as wedding cars due to them being so well suited for the purpose.

The perfect match to this vehicle is shown below. The vehicle on the left is the Bentley S1 as mentioned above and that on the right is our 1966 Jaguar S-Type, near identical to the Jaguar Mk2. Both these vehicle are of Oxford Blue.
