AI Listing Summary
This 1964 Bentley S3 Continental is a rare, right-hand drive example with coachwork by Mulliner Park Ward, finished in a striking Caribbean Blue over Red leather. It features desirable factory options like air conditioning and a MPH/KMH speedometer, and has benefited from recent mechanical servicing, making it a presentable grand tourer.

The car is described as an 'excellent example mechanically' by the vendor, who notes that minor cosmetic improvements could be made. It has benefited from recent mechanical work including a £10,000 freshening and a recent service totaling over £10,000.

However, the vendor feels small cosmetic improvements can be made should a prospective owner prefer their vehicles to be show-winners. This suggests that while mechanically sound and well-maintained, there are some cosmetic imperfections present.

One of the more striking body styles 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).
Understood to be one of less than fifty right-hand drive examples, chassis BC138XC was initially supplied by Wey...
