An Icon has arrived!

Bentley Leeds are proud to announce the arrival of an icon. This GT was created in honour of JAS 949.

JAS 949 was delivered to its first owner, Dr Rowland Guenin of Switzerland, in December 1953. It was
ordered in Ivory with a Red interior and a manual gearbox, a specification it retains today along with the
original 4.6-litre engine.
To recreate the closest specification for the modern interpretation of JAS 949, a new Continental GT V8
Azure has been hand painted in Old English White – a faithful re-creation of the heritage paint colour that
dates back to the 1950s. As per the muse, the Continental GT is fitted with bright chrome (including the
matrix grille) While JAS949 rides on 16” wheels, the newer version runs on 22” hand-finished wheels, in a
black and polished finish as per the original. Inside the beautiful cabin, Cricket Ball leather can be seen
throughout providing a cosseting, deep and rich heritage feel for the driver and passengers and mirroring
the hide colour of JAS 949. To provide contrast and to preserve the design lines of the cabin, hand-applied
piping in Beluga leather brings accents to the seats.
