1962 Bentley S3 Sedan
French grey card
Serial Number: B2LCN
• Mulliner Park Ward body with British refinement
• Delivered new to the Franco-British
• Same owner since 1988
Presented at the Paris Salon in October 1962, the Bentley S3 is the ultimate evolution of the prestigious post-war «Standard Steel» Bentley line. It takes up the majestic elegance of the S2 while adopting a modernized front face, recognizable by its four headlights with paired optics, an innovation shared with the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III launched the same year. Under the hood, the 6.2-litre V8, enhanced by a Mulliner Park Ward body, an embodiment of British craftsmanship.
The copy we propose has an enviable pedigree: delivered new in France through the Franco-British, official importer of the brand, this Bentley S3 was maintained exclusively in the network, then placed in the care of the former house mechanic. On October 6, 1988, it joined the hands of its current owner, who has kept it for nearly forty years, thus testifying to a remarkable attachment and therefore to an easily traceable history. Although it no longer has its original colour, this Bentley now sports an elegant biton livery, perfectly in line with its status as a large tourist car.
