Possibly a Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spur. The Series 2 Bentley was introduced in 1959 and produced until 1962. Under the hood was an aluminum 6.23 Liter V8 with dual SU carburetors. The S2 is considered by many to be the greatest of the S Series. These 4 door touring automobiles were well known for their ample room for 4 passengers and their luggage.

Rolls-Royce had envisaged the Bentley Continental as exclusively a two-door car, but late in 1957 the decision was taken to sanction the production of a four-door variation by H J Mulliner. Introduced on the S1 Continental and known as the 'Flying Spur', this design was a collaborative effort by Rolls-Royce's in-house styling department and H J Mulliner, and bore a strong resemblance both to the two-door Continental and to existing coachbuilt four-door styles on Rolls-Royce and (non-Continental) Bentley chassis. To the Continental's existing qualities of pace and elegance, the Flying Spur added four-door practicality, a more spacious interior and generously proportioned boot.
