A high-performance version S Continental (chassis only) was introduced six months after the introduction of the S1.
Lighter weight fixed head and drophead coupé bodies were provided to special order for a premium of about 50% by H. J. Mulliner & Co., Park Ward, James Young and Freestone & Webb.
A pre-production 2-seater fixed-head coupé on the new chassis was designed and built for the Bentley factory by Pininfarina.
In 1959 motoring correspondent Archie Vicar described it as a "comfortable large saloon with a decent turn of speed".
