There are car enthusiasts out there who always buy the newest version of a particular model. You may be one of them, a person who has always driven Ford Mustangs and always makes sure to buy one from the latest generation. At the 2025 Arizona Concours d’Elegance, I met Tim Trani, who went the opposite direction with his love of Bentleys and ended up buying the 1958 S1 Continental Flying Spur you see here.
Trani lived in England as a child and his father had a 1949 Jaguar, so he’s always had an affinity for English cars. In fact, he’s the owner of a 2022 Bentley Flying Spur. Trani enjoys that car so much that he decided to get one of its ancestors to go with it. One night, he found a beautiful dark green 1958 S1 Continental Flying Spur with H.J. Mulliner bodywork, a tan leather interior, and a fascinating history: legendary director Alfred Hitchcock ordered this Flying Spur through a Rolls-Royce dealer in New York and had it delivered to his California estate.
