Description
The Continental variant of the S2 was offered in varied configurations of alloy bodywork provided by one of three coachbuilders. James Young offered both two- and four-door saloon designs, although the Bromley firm’s coachwork appeared on just 40 of the 388 S2 Continental chassis built. Styling included a “six-light” window layout as well as a lower-profile grille than that utilized on S1 variants.
This example is said to have received a repaint in its current shade of burgundy…
The Continental variant of the S2 was offered in varied configurations of alloy bodywork provided by one of three coachbuilders. James Young offered both two- and four-door saloon designs, although the Bromley firm’s coachwork appeared on just 40 of the 388 S2 Continental chassis built. Styling included a “six-light” window layout as well as a lower-profile grille than that utilized on S1 variants.
This example is said to have received a repaint in its current shade of burgundy during a refurbishment performed in the early 2010s. Features include pale yellow pinstriping, bumper-mounted Lucas fog lamps, fender-mounted side mirrors, spear-style door handles with square push-buttons, and B-pillar mounted Marchal parking lights.
Steel 15” wheels wear chrome covers accented by body-color rings and are wrapped in Firestone tires, while a matching spare secured in the trunk wears Hankook rubber. Servo-assisted drum brakes feature twin master cylinders handling hydraulic actuation at the front and hydromechanical actuation at the rear. Continental models are equipped with four brake shoes at each front corner. The wheels are said to have been re-balanced under current ownership.
The cabin features tan leather upholstery over the front bucket seats, rear bench, and door panels, which were reportedly re-trimmed 10 years ago by Hilborn Motor Car Interiors in Florida. Additional equipment includes tan carpeting, tinted sun visors, power steering, a Blauplunkt radio with an electrically-operated antenna, and air conditioning, the latter of which enters the cabin via vents on the rear hat shelf.
The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a dual-grain wood dash that houses Smiths instrumentation including a 220-km/h speedometer, a 5k-rpm tachometer, and gauges monitoring coolant temperature, oil pressure, amperage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometers shows 81k kilometers (~50k miles). The clock located in the center of the dash does not work.
The 6.2-liter V8 features an aluminum block with cast iron cylinder liners, aluminum pistons, aluminum cylinder heads with overhead valves, and twin SU carburetors. The engine was reportedly overhauled during the 2010s refurbishment. Service within the last year is said to have involved fluid changes.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a column-shifted four-speed automatic transmission that is also said to have been refreshed in the early 2010s. Continental models were equipped with taller gear ratios as well as a higher-ratio rear end. The independent front suspension incorporates coil springs and lever-arm shock absorbers, while the leaf-spring rear axle is equipped with lever-arm shocks that can be adjusted electrically via a switch on the steering column.
