This unique left-hand drive Bentley S2 features shooting brake coachwork by Harold Radford Ltd., the exclusive London firm established in the late 1940s. Radford’s first design was for a wooden-framed estate car body on the Bentley MkVI chassis. This ‘Countryman’ model was an immediate success, winning the 1948 Concours d’Elegance at Cannes. The Countryman was later refined, becoming an early version of the ‘hatchback’ concept applied to the standard saloon body on Bentley and Rolls-Royce chassis and those of other prestigious makes. Radford exhibited in the coachbuilding section at the London Motor Show from 1951 to 1963, winning numerous awards, and in the 1960s began to reach a wider public with its luxurious Mini conversions. H R Owen acquired the firm in the early 1960s.
