Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a unique 1964 Bentley Series 3 Continental Two-door Saloon, formerly owned by Engelbert Humperdinck and custom-built for R G McLeod with a shortened chassis and special modifications. It features a professionally restored mechanicals and interior, although with some non-original features like a full-length sunroof and repainted body.
Condition
7
The car has been professionally restored in 2011/2012, including a major overhaul of the braking system, new fuel pumps, carburettor overhaul, and a new exhaust system. The interior and boot were fully re-trimmed, and the hubcaps and front bumper were re-chromed. However, the full-length sunroof, re-trimmed interior, and repainted body indicate deviations from the original factory condition.
