AI Listing Summary
This 1966 Bentley S3 Flying Spur, one of only 100, is a rare find with 47,050 miles and a rich history. Part of a large collection since 2014, it requires recommissioning as it's currently a 'non-runner', offering a restoration opportunity for enthusiasts.
Condition
4
The car is described as a 'non-runner' and needing 'an element of recommissioning'. It has been stored correctly and presents well, but hasn't had much recent maintenance. The listing encourages pre-sale inspection to appreciate its potential. This suggests a condition that requires work to return it to full operational status.

An element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once again Introduced in 1955, the Bentley S-Type and equivalent Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud saloons were thoroughly modern, spacious, comfortable, quiet and powerful.
In production for 10 years, they were the final series-production coach-built cars from Crewe.
Building on the legendary status of the ground-breaking R-Type Continental, Bentley soon announced a two-door S-Type to be available as a stunning drophead coupé by Park Ward and a desirable and sporting ‘fastback’ by H.J.
