Bentley S3 Continental

Bentley S3 Continental

Coordinates 51.4856114,-0.3264736

Picture dated August 2015


This looks to be a Bentley S3 Continental S3, which was introduced concurrently with the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III, was produced from late 1962 through October 1965, being the final Bentley with separate body-and-chassis construction suitable for the finest custom coachbuilt bodywork. With slightly higher top-speed potential due to its carefully selected rear-end ratios and quite rare with only 312 examples built, the S3 was sought after by enthusiasts.

With its clean and elegant styling by freelance designer Vilhelm Koren, the S3 Continental Coupé had a decidedly rakish profile with attractively angled wheel arches, straight-through fender lines, smooth slab sides and unique, angled headlamps. Mechanical advancements for the S3 included a compression increase to 9.0:1 for the aluminium block-and-head 6.2-litre V-8, enlarged carburettors and a corresponding output boost of about 20 hp.
