Wine scion Edouard de Nazelle, a descendant of one Veuve Clicquot's founders, drives this extremely unique vintage Bentley branded with the famed French champagne house's signature colors. The beautiful one-of-a-kind car, a c.1960 S2 Continental "Flying Spur" with coachwork by H J Mulliner, is painted the same color as Veuve Clicquot's world-renowned Yellow Label bubbly (which is in fact more akin to a mandarin orange), contrasted with deep aubergine. The interior is finished in black leather with beautiful burled wood paneling. The Bentley is very similar to the 1961 S2 formerly owned by Sean Connery which as we reported was auctioned off in June.

The Bentley S2 was a great luxury car but also had very impressive performance. This was one of the first Bentleys that had an enhanced V8 Rolls-Royce engine with less than 2000 being made over several years time. The ones that was influenced by H.J. Mulliner were even more rare. Not only is the Vintage Veuve Clicquot Bentley impressive in terms of appearance, it is certainly a gem just by nature of its rarity. I would love to know what kind of price tag this car had in addition to the customization. Thanks.
