Bentley S3 Standard Steel Saloon. 1963
General description :
1963 Bentley S3 Standard Steel Saloon.
Chassis number: B684CN
Registration number: AOT558A
Supplied new via Watson of Liverpool to The Right Honourable Lord Shawcross. This S3 comes to us with a massive history file covering maintenance since 1984 at which time the car had covered a documented 23,000 miles. An unbroken chain of MOT's warrants the mileage at 75,537 as of the date of photography. We have only photographed a small portion of the history file as it is too big to list in its entirety.
Massive expenditure has been undertaken including fitting new sills & a bare metal respray in its original colours of Tudor over Shell Grey. All woodwork has been removed & refinished to a beautiful standard including the rear picnic tables. The interior has been freshly re-trimmed in unmarked brand new grey hides, the headlining redone & a new set of carpets intalled along with new door cards. New radial tyres were also recently fitted all round.
The car is in immaculate condition & has had vast expenditure lavished upon it. It drives beautifully with ample power, excellent brakes & a soft undulating ride. It would be very hard to find a better one at the price being asked. We picked it up from the current owner in Cornwall & had the pleasure of driving it back to our Northampton Showrooms; a journey it shrugged off with aplomb. It is a car easily capable of continental cruising at 80 to 90MPH where permissable.

About Bentley
Before becoming a mere subsidiary to Rolls-Royce, Bentley was an independent Automaker famous for the "fastest lorries in the world" e.i Bentley 4½ Litre.Good ol' Bentley boys (A group of wealthy British motorists, mainly Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry "Tim" Birkin, steeplechaser George Duller, aviator Glen Kidston, S.C.H. "Sammy" Davis, and Dr Dudley Benjafield ) -in their trusty Bentley cars- took four consecutive victories at 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930
In 1931 Bentley was taken over British Central Equitable Trust that later proved to be a front for Rolls-Royce Limited. Unhappy with his role at Rolls-Royce, W.O. Bentley left the company when his contract expired in 1935 duly joining Lagonda. This was beginning of which ultimately led Bentley cars to become more or less badge-engineered Rolls-Royce.
