The Bentley S Type is a quintessential design with a distinctive profile evocative of refined British elegance. And with a smooth, powerful 4,887CC inline-6 engine mated to a reliable, easily serviced GM-built Hydramatic transmission, it is a genuine pleasure to get behind the wheel. The Silver example offered here was owned from 2004 to 2012 by former NBA star and current ESPN commentator, and University of Michigan “Fab 5” legend Jalen Rose. Rose commissioned a complete no-expense-spared restoration shortly after acquiring the car, which received new paint, new leather upholstery and new carpets, refinished wood, rebuilt mechanicals as needed.
