1965 Bentley S3 Series Navigation
Bentley produced 311 examples of the S3 Continental between 1962 and 1965, including 16 with left-hand drive Flying Spur (body design 2011). This example was acquired via J.S. Inskip and it was delivered in December 1964 to its first owner: Donald S. Tuttle of Connecticut. At one point, it was owned by actor Leslie Nielsen, who was famous for 'The Naked Gun' and 'Airplane' movies. The current owner acquired the Bentley from his estate after his passing in 2010. Thereafter, it was given a refurbishment by Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists, Vantage Motorworks of North Miami, Florida. It was returned to its original Black Pearl exterior paint and two-tone grey leather, and it also received a new headliner and Sundyum glass.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2024
