Bentley built 1,286 examples of the standard S3 between 1962 and 1965. This car is finished in two-tone gold and black with black and red accent stripes running below the window line to the front fenders. Equipment includes driving lights, chrome-finished trim, a polished exhaust finisher, fender-mounted mirrors, and a Flying B hood ornament.
Steel 15″ wheels wear polished covers with body-color centers and are wrapped in Coker Classic whitewall tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted brakes and steering, and the driver-side front brake shoe was rebuilt and a brake-fluid flush was performed in early 2019.
The right-hand-drive cabin features seating surfaces and lower door panels upholstered in cream-colored leather with copper-colored piping, while burl wood trim accents the dash and upper door panels, and the floors are overlayed with tan carpeting and mats. Amenities include power windows, Frigiking air conditioning, chrome-finished trim, rear tray tables, a Blaupunkt AM/FM/cassette stereo, a leather-lined driver’s storage cubby, and a locking glovebox.
Smiths instrumentation consists of a 120-mph speedometer, a clock, and gauges for amperage, coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 36k miles, approximately 6k of which have been added under current ownership.
The 6,230cc V8 drives the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The transmission was rebuilt in March 2014, and service in early 2019 included replacement of the oil pan and gasket, the transmission oil pan and gasket, and the oil filter housing seal, as well as a transmission fluid flush and an oil change.

The car was awarded Best Import at the 2016, 2017, and 2018 Concours in the Hills of Fountain Hills, Arizona, and it earned Best of Show in 2017.
