Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1964 Bentley Continental S3, finished in Caribbean Blue Metallic with a St. James red leather interior, was originally delivered to Sydney, Australia, and repatriated to the UK in 2015. While the car has covered 118,000 miles, its service history is incomplete, though it presents well and has been recently serviced. Key features include a full-length sunroof and air conditioning.

The description mentions recent servicing at a Bentley specialist and a 'confidence-inspiring' once over before the auction, implying that some level of reconditioning or maintenance is being performed. The car's age and mileage also contribute to the likelihood of some wear and tear. Considering all these factors, a rating of 'Very Good' seems appropriate.
