1963 Bentley S3 Continental Flying Spur SOLD

The Bentley S3 was first presented at the Mondial de l'Automobile in October 1962. In the standard version with factory bodywork the car was produced as a four-door saloon from 1962 to 1965.

The main external difference to the predecessor S2 was the new front design, now with four instead of two headlights. This also represented the transition to the completely renewed design of the successor T1.

In the interior, the S3 was equipped with individual seats for driver and front passenger, and the dashboard was also fitted with padded impact protection. In the rear, the seat bench has been moved back approx. 5 cm to increase legroom and has been fitted with modified shoulder padding.

The 6. 2-litre V8 engine of the predecessor was slightly reworked, with larger carburettors and a compression ratio increased from 8:1 to 9:1, the power output was increased by 7 percent. The power steering was also improved and could now be operated with lower steering forces.

As in the case of the predecessor, Bentley also offered a special sporty version of the S3 called Continental. Here Bentley supplied only the ready-to-drive chassis; the body was supplied by independent bodybuilders on behalf of the customer. S3 bodies were supplied by Mulliner Park Ward and James Young.

Our vehicle is one of only 98 examples of the Continenal Flying Spur with Mulliner Park Ward bodywork.

The Bentley was completely restored in England in the 90's and recently overhauled. It is in beautiful condition.

Der Bentley S3 wurde erstmalig auf der Mondial de l’Automobile im Oktober 1962 vorgestellt. In der Standardausführung mit Werkskarosserie wurde das Fahrzeug als viertürige Limousine von 1962 bis 1965 produziert.

Der äußerliche Hauptunterschied zum Vorgänger S2 bestand im neuen Frontdesign, mit nun vier statt zwei Scheinwerfern. Dies stellte auch den Übergang zum komplett erneuerten Design des Nachfolgers T1 dar.

Im Innenraum wurde der S3 mit Einzelsitzen für Fahrer und Beifahrer ausgestattet, außerdem wurde die Armaturentafel mit einem gepolsterten Prallschutz ausgestattet. Im Fond wurde die Sitzbank ca. 5 cm nach hinten verschoben um die Beinfreiheit zu erhöhen und mit geänderter Schulterpolsterung ausgestattet.

Der 6, 2-Liter-V8-Motor des Vorgängers wurde leicht überarbeitet, durch größere Vergaser und eine von 8:1 auf 9:1 erhöhte Verdichtung wurde die Leistung um 7 Prozent gesteigert. Die Servolenkung wurde ebenfalls verbessert und war nun mit geringeren Lenkkräften zu bedienen.

Wie schon im Fall des Vorgängers, bot Bentley auch beim S3 eine sportliche Sonderversion mit der Bezeichnung Continental an. Bentley lieferte hier nur das fahrbereite Chassis; der Aufbau wurde jeweils von selbständigen Karosseriebauunternehmen im Kundenauftrag beigesteuert. S3-Karosserien gab es von Mulliner Park Ward und James Young.

Unser Fahrzeug ist eines von nur 98 Exemplaren des Continenal Flying Spur mit Mulliner Park Ward Karosserie.

Der Bentley wurde in den 90er Jahren in England von Grund auf restauriert und vor Kurzem überabeitet und befindet sich in bildschönem Zustand.

Preis: EUR 185. 500,-
