Custom 1956 Bentley S1 Ute At Auction In Australia

This classic started life in 1956 as a Bentley S1, purchased by the owner of a large retail chain before changing hands to the Earl of Stradbroke who had it converted to a pickup. The work was carried out in New South Wales, Australia, where they've always been bonkers for utes. They painted it yellow and gave it a woody-style pickup bed.

TheTrinity Grammar School is auctioning this custom vehicle at the Australian Auto Show on June 10 to raise funds to build a new library and are hoping it will fetch $23,600-$34,400US.
