No British coachbuilder
has a more illustrious or longer history than Hooper. Begun in 1807, it
received its first Royal Warrant from the future King William IV. Its royal
patronage was succeeded by his niece, Queen Victoria, by her son, King Edward
VII, and continues to the present queen. After World War II, Hooper embarked on
its most adventurous phase with a series of Osmond Rivers-designed bodies. The
flamboyantly curved front fenders and beltline swept down to the rear, where
they merged into the rear fenders. Known as the Empire Line, where
earlier Hooper coachwork had been restrained, the Empire Line was
daring. Hooper proudly ka pair of Empire Line bodied car at
the 1956 London Motor Show, the Bentley S1, a significant event that is
mirrored in this Hooper-bodied car, 1956
Bentley S1, proudly bearing Hooper's
distinctive Empress 4-door saloon coachwork, white exterior and maroon interior. A
statement of elegance, style, purpose and quality, yet each is intrinsically
individual. This is an opportunity to acquire an automobile of the highest
quality that combine the work of Britain's most prestigious coachbuilder with
its pre-eminent Marques that re-create Hooper's 1956 London Motor show display.
