Lot 63
 

1964 Bentley S3
***NO RESERVE*** A highly credible 34,000 miles recorded – Formerly part of a private collection

Registration – LOI 2609

Chassis No. – B54EC

M.O.T. – Exempt

Odometer – 34,106

Part of one man’s extensive collection, this 1964 Bentley S3 immediately appeals thanks to an odometer reading a mere 34,100 miles – with DVLA support for this stretching back to 2001. Tantalisingly, it is offered at No Reserve. Originally registered in June 1964, it was believed to be later used overseas and then repatriated back to the UK in 1978 – as evidenced by the included V5. The two-tone grey and blue coachwork is paired with a grey leather interior, which features extensive walnut veneer. While ‘LOI2609’ doesn’t have a current MOT, it had a clean report from its last MOT in September 2012, with no advisories in the five former tests either.

The Bentley S Series was a Bentley development of the Rolls-Royce Cloud-based saloons. The S3 was the final development in the series, and was introduced in 1962. Key visual changes included a four-headlamp front end and lower bonnet line and grille. The interior was honed to give more rear legroom, while a high-compression version of the 6.2-litre V8 engine gave a power boost and a top speed of nearly 120mph. This elegant carriage was replaced in 1965.

In summary:

  • 1964 Bentley S3 with odometer reading just 34,100 miles
  • Registered in 1964 and repatriated in 1978
  • Stately and presentable version of a classic Bentley
