1965 BENTLEY S3 BERLINE Lot n° 15

Chassis number: B178 HN 6230 cc 200-horsepower V8 engine Maximum speed: 175 km/h Launched in 1962, the Bentley S3, a model equivalent to Rolls-Royce's Silver Cloud III, uses the 6230 cc aluminium V8 engine introduced in the Bentley S2 and Silver Cloud II. At first glance, the S3 can be differentiated from the S2 by its four headlights instead of the simple optics previously used, as well as the disappearance of the lanterns above the wings and the turn signals in the front wings. This Bentley S3 sedan with a 4-door steel body and all aluminum doors and windows was first introduced on March 15, 1965, the last year of production, before it was replaced by the less iconic Bentley T1. Elegantly painted in two shades of grey with a gorgeous grey leather interior with blue carpeting, our luxurious right-hand-drive S3 has been in our dispersed collection for 17 years. Parked with the engine two years ago and in good overall condition, it is sold with French registration and without technical inspection.
