About the 1962 Bentley S3 Saloon

The S3 marked Bentley's final flourish before the Rolls-Royce merger fundamentally changed the marque's character. Introduced in 1962, it refined the S2's formula with subtle styling updates including a lower bonnet line and repositioned headlamps that gave it a more modern appearance. Under the hood, the 6.2-liter V8 delivered effortless performance befitting a proper Bentley, while the four-speed automatic transmission provided seamless power delivery. Only 1,286 S3 saloons were built during its brief three-year run, making it considerably rarer than its predecessors. The S3 represents the end of an era, the last Bentley designed entirely in Crewe before platform sharing became the norm. Today, collectors appreciate the S3 for its understated elegance and mechanical refinement. Clean examples command strong prices, particularly those with documented provenance and original interior appointments.
