By 1955, Rolls-Royce felt increasingly less need to visually differentiate between its own models and its Bentley-badged relations. The Bentley S1 that replaced the R-Type model was essentially a Silver Cloud I behind the distinctive 'Flying B' radiator grille. Greatly improved performance arrived with the S2 model of 1959, when the straight-six engine was pensioned off in favour of a new 6.2-litre aluminium V8 unit. This raised the top speed to some 114mph and greatly enhanced acceleration. Power steering became standard and electrically operated windows an option.

Finished in Champagne complemented to a Deep Red interior, chassis B257CT has benefitted from much expense in the current ownership. In September 2023, the S2 was the subject of a full service, reconditioned front wheel cylinders, a new battery and attention to the braking system, in addition to further work carried out by AB Classics of Wisbech at a cost of £7,425.00. An overhauled rear axle has also been fitted. Furthermore, it's understood to have seen work to replace engine mountings, the front engine cross-member and exhaust fixings, with these works being carried out by Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists Colbrook. Offered with a collection of invoices, chassis B257CT will be accompanied by a current V5C Registration Document.
