Classic Bentleys up for on sale – including motor once owned by Beckhams
A FLEET of vintage Bentleys are set to go under the hammer – including one dazzling motor once owned by David and Victoria Beckham.
The classy vehicles will be auctioned off at the end of May, with Silverstone Auctions valuing the sale to be worth more than £1.5million.
Up to five pristine Bentleys, once owned by movers and shakers, will be up for grabs to the general public.
The stately vehicles a reportedly from the glitz era of the 1950’s and 1960’s.
One of the most prized motors up for sale is the 1959 Bentley S1 drophead coupé valued at more than £200,000.
The luxury car was originally sold new to Sir Bernard Docker, the Chairman of Birmingham Small Arms Company.
And it was later owned by Maureen Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava, a known socialite at the time and heir to the brewing family, Guinness.
Silverstone Auctions claimed the car was prestigious.
The auctioneers said: “Sporting a delightful patina, the Bentley retains its original interior.
“This car comes trailing glamour and controversy in equal parts.
“There cannot be a society event anywhere in Europe that this Bentley hasn’t attended.”

A 1955 Bentley R-Type Fastback Continental Coachwork by H.J. Mulliner, expected to fetch £500,000.
