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 an arguably 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.

Presented in Light Arctic Blue over Shell Grey. this excellent
driving car has travelled just 1. 00 miles since its last service
in December. 2011. Three previous owners are recorded on the V5
