Bentley S3 (LHD)

Vehicle Description

On offer is an exceptionally rare Bentley S3 Long Wheelbase with James Young bodywork, left-hand drive, and partition screen—a configuration that exists in extremely limited numbers worldwide (only 29 left-hand drive models, of which this is the only known surviving example with a partition screen).

It was first registered in 1964 and originally delivered to Lausanne (Switzerland).
The current odometer reading is 13,000 kilometers (as read).

The vehicle is presented in a beautiful green and silver metallic paint finish with a beige leather interior, extremely stylish and timelessly elegant.

The Bentley is powered by the legendary 6.2-liter V8 gasoline engine with 136 kW (185 hp) in combination with an automatic transmission – smooth-running, powerful, and confident, in keeping with the Bentley brand.

After several stops in different countries, the vehicle came to a previous owner in Hamburg, where a restoration that had been started was abandoned and the car stood in an underground garage for around five years.
The current owner took over the Bentley, completely dismantled it, and carried out an extensive frame-off restoration with the clear goal of preserving as much of the original substance as possible.

· Body completely restored and repainted in 2015
· Chrome parts polished or replaced
· Electrical system completely checked and overhauled
· New whitewall tires on steel rims
· Retro car radio with remote control
· Air conditioning retrofitted

A brief vehicle assessment by Hagen-Fischer from 2016 certifies the Bentley with a condition rating of 1-.

The vehicle comes with German registration papers, H license plates, and the original owner’s manual.

Conclusion
An extremely rare and historically significant Bentley S3 LWB with James Young bodywork, elaborately and professionally restored, in an unusual color and equipment combination.
With its left-hand drive with partition screen, documented frame-off restoration, and excellent condition, this vehicle is one of the most outstanding examples of its series.

A Bentley for discerning collectors, connoisseurs of British luxury cars, or for a high-quality collection with international appeal—practically impossible to find in this configuration.
