1964 Bentley S3 Continental Fixed Head Coupe

UTAC Millbrook | Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire 75000 - 85000 Registration No: DSA 643B Chassis No: BC138XC MOT: Exempt � One of only 76 or so examples bodied to Mulliner Park Ward's Design No. 2035 in both LHD and RHD � Uniquely finished in the striking colour combination of Carribean Blue over Red leather upholstery � Originally specified with desirable air-conditioning option, a MPH / KMH speedometer and internally routed brake pipes � The beneficiary of a recent �10,000 mechanical freshening up Introduced in Autumn 1962, the S3 Continental was notable as the last Bentley to be coachbuilt on a separate chassis. Powered by a 6,230cc OHV V8 engine allied to four-speed automatic transmission and reputedly capable of nigh-on 120mph, the newcomer was ferociously expensive. One of the more striking bodystyles available, Mulliner Park Ward�s Design Number 2035 was a beautifully sleek Fixed Head Coupe featuring a 'straight-through' wing line, 'cut-back' wheel arches, diagonally-positioned quad headlamps and subtle tail fins. Understandably popular among contemporary celebrities such as Jayne Mansfield, Fanny Craddock, Sir John Mills, Harry Belafonte and Keith Richards, just 312 S3 Continentals of all types were completed between 1962 and 1966. However, Mulliner Park Ward�s Design Number 2035 only accounted for seventy-six of these (in both left and right-hand drive). More information to follow.
