The last Bentley to be built on a separate chassis. in 1962. saw
the introduction of the Bentley S3 factory bodied standard steel
saloon and. at first glance. it would appear that the all new S3
was merely an S2 with different headlamps. The introduction of the
twin headlamps was clearly the most obvious change but the
differences did not end there. Further changes included the
introduction of smaller bumper overriders and the repositioning of
the front indicators and side lamps into one single unit on the
front wing resulting in a more attractive appearance. The S3's
interior now had individual front seats in place of the split bench
seat found in the earlier S-Types; some. like this one. had air
conditioning. electric windows and front seat belts. Mechanically
speaking the S3 was the same as the S2 with a 6230cc Rolls-Royce V8
engine and automatic gearbox but this model was fitted with larger
carburettors. improved power steering to aid smoother movement at
parking speed and a Lucas vacuum-advance distributor to aid fuel
consumption making it almost identical in mechanical specification
to the S3 Continental that was being produced at the same time.

This lefthand drive Bentley S3 Standard Steel Saloon was
supplied new to the USA in 1963 and was imported to the UK in 2010
by the previous American lady owner who lived in central London. It
was repainted in the last ten years in the US where it also had air
conditioning fitted. the dynamo replaced by an alternator. new
radial tyres and a Kenwood CD multichanger. Finished in black over
dark blue with light tan interior and electric windows. this S3 has
been in storage since 2012 but has recently been started and
checked. This Bentley S3 is supplied with a V5C registration
document. an MoT test certificate. a set of the chassis cards from
the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club. wheel changing tools and a hand
tool kit from a RR Silver Shadow. Here is a fantastic opportunity
to buy one of the best. rare lefthand drive. post war. factory
built Bentleys that can be used as a continental cruiser or as an
'everyday motor car'.
