Bentley S1 of Charlie Chaplin. Nice 1956. Registered VD42299 – CH, Standard Steel Sports Saloon. Detailed info on this car by expert Klaus-Josef Rossfeldt see About/Additional Infos.

In Nice, 1956, Charlie Chaplin's Bentley S1, a Standard Steel Sports Saloon, draws a small crowd. The dark, high-gloss car features a massive chrome grille and a Swiss license plate, VD-42299. A man in a suit leans towards the open passenger door, while onlookers, including a uniformed chauffeur, stand by. In the background, a garage sign reads "AUTOMOBILISTES" under a woven canopy, with strong daylight casting distinct shadows across the unpaved ground.
