Description from the seller

Overview/Conditions
Bentley S2 V8 imported in the 90s and subsequently regularly registered in Italy.
Bodywork repainted in a decent but not perfect way a few years ago; a few defects due to normal wear are not accompanied by obvious rust bubbles.
In some spots there is evidence of filler and putty used over time

Underside decent and without evident rust
Car running and regularly serviced
Since it has been used little in recent years, a thorough general service would be advisable

An electronic ignition kit has been installed – the original system is present in the trunk.
Tires at 80%

The car starts well both warm and cold, brakes and steers without issue, the temperature during use remains normal (about 90).

Interior preserved in very good condition and never redone
Very beautiful woods with a light patina of time
Seats preserved, never polished or repainted, the driver's seat shows some normal wear due to use.
Electrical parts functioning, one taillight needs fixing but is present -see photo-

Documents regular (in photo)
in case of sale in Italy the cost of the transfer of ownership is excluded (300€)
in case of sale abroad the cost of deregistration for export (export documents) is excluded (200€)

Car visible in the province of Udine, Italy.
We recommend pickup by car carrier or tow truck if long distances are needed.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
