1962 Bentley S3 WITHOUT RESERVATION French registration Serial Number: B2LCN - Mulliner Park Ward bodywork with typical British refinement - Delivered new to the Franco-British - Same owner since 1988 1962 BENTLEY S3 - Carte Grise: French - Serial Number: B2LCN - Engine: 6.2-liter V8 - French origin: Delivered new by the Franco-British company. - Known history: Same owner since 1988 (nearly 40 years). - Mulliner Park Ward bodywork, the epitome of British refinement. Presented at the Paris Motor Show in October 1962, the Bentley S3 is the ultimate evolution of the prestigious post-war "Standard Steel" Bentley line. It retained the majestic elegance of the S2, while adopting a modernized front end, immediately recognizable by its four twin headlamps - an innovation shared with the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III launched the same year. Under the hood, the 6.2-liter V8 delivers remarkable silence and torque. The example we're offering has an enviable pedigree. It was delivered new to France by the brand's official importer, Franco-Britannique. This Bentley S3 has always been well cared for: its owner tells us that he maintained it exclusively through the network, and that it was then entrusted to the care of the company's former mechanic (no invoices). Its history is well known: on October 6, 1988, it passed into the hands of its current owner, who has kept it with passion for almost forty years. Although no longer in its original color, this Bentley now sports an elegant biton livery, perfectly in keeping with its status as a grand touring car, sublimating the bodywork signed Mulliner Park Ward. ________________________________________ With its French origins, stable ownership history since 1988 and serious mechanical follow-up, this Bentley S3 is a rare opportunity to acquire an English aristocrat with a transparent history. 1962 BENTLEY S3 - Registration document: French - Serial number: B2LCN - Engine: 6.2-litre V8 - Exclusive French origin: Delivered new by Franco-Britannique. - Clear history: Same owner since 1988 (nearly 40 years). - Mulliner Park Ward bodywork, the pinnacle of British refinement.
