Bentley Continental Sports Saloon

A Unique book about an exceptional car comprising 400 pages, measuring 29 x 24cms and containing over 350 photographs, illustrations and drawings, many never before published, reproduced in colour and black and white.

The original goal had been to update Stanley Sedgwick's 1978 work. However, the sheer volume of new information, including original factory records, coachbuilders drawings and photographs, carried this project far beyond the initial concept. Tracing the existence and ownership of all 208 Continentals has been a massive project and nearly all the cars, 204 to be exact, have been accounted for.

The resulting book contains the most comprehensive history to date, of the origins, design, development, testing and production of these cars.

All the Continentals have been individually researched in much greater detail than previously possible, including individual ownership histories, unique chassis and coachwork specifications, and photographic records.
