1965 Bentley S3 Series LWB Saloon

Of the 32 long wheelbase Bentley S3s built, this is one of only 7 fitted with coachwork by James Young of Bromley in Kent and the only one with left-hand drive. In addition, it is the very last of a long line of James Young-bodied S series Bentleys to be built. It was ordered with a special 2-inch higher roofline to accommodate its first owner, a six-foot-six-inch doctor from West Germany. Its second owner used the car to tow his horse trailer, which must have been quite a sight. The Bentley S3s have the 6.2-litre V8 engine introduced with the earlier Bentley S2. Its counterpart from Rolls-Royce was the Silver Cloud III.
