Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1965 Bentley S3, part of a deceased estate, is presented in a striking Sand over Burgundy. It features well-maintained cosmetics and mechanics, with a potentially low mileage supported by MOT history and careful maintenance records, making it a smart and usable example of a classic Bentley.
Condition
7
The car is described as being in overall solid condition with slight wear visible in paint and interior. The paintwork is presentable with no major marks or scratches, and the chromework is strong for its age. The interior has worn well, with no rips or tears noted. The mileage is potentially low and reflected in the car's overall condition. Therefore, a rating of 7 (Very Good) is appropriate, as it aligns with requiring minor reconditioning.

Description
Description Part of a considerable private collection; deceased estate; owned by the family since 2016; presented in Sand over Burgundy; cherished plate included Produced between 1965 and 1966, the Bentley S3 was the final model in the marque’s S-series saloons.
