Bentley S2 Continental Sports Hooper 195 by Matrix
9
This subject is one of great historical significance as Hooper’s 1959 London Motor Show car BC1AR was the first Bentley S2 Continental chassis completed, the only S2 clothed by Hooper (although there were a handful of S1s with similar bodies) and also the last body produced by the Hooper works. The car has been in and out of the country a few times and now wears an incorrect 1963 registration number and it is as the car survives that it is modelled. The rear number plate on our sample isn’t on quite straight but otherwise things look good with delicate trim, very sharp panel lines and fine silver paintwork.

About Matrix
From the original creators of the Neo range, this resincast series offers a wide range of mostly road car subjects. Some are very familiar classics but we also see plenty of very rare and usual machines ranging from Maharajah's Rolls Royces to Citroen and Volvo limousines! Overall casting quality is excellent, paint finishes usually to a very high standard and plenty of fine etch used for small trim. Wire wheels on some subjects can be a little unconvincing but otherwise very consistent. Made in China.
