1963 Bentley S-3 Standard Saloon Barn-find RHD

1963 Bentley S-3 standard saloonRHD

This S-3 is a great example of an unmolested and undamaged barn-find perfectly ready for restoration. We purchased the car in the fall of 2016 from a trust out of an estate in the Chicago area. The car had been in a climate controlled storage facility for the past 25 years. We've given her a little TLC to get her ready for you.
This S-3features factory air-conditioning, factory dual horns andfactory fuel pump A B selector. It is a right-hand drive, two-tone black over silver paint with a grey leather interior. The paint has visible cracks and chips as detailed in the photos. The car will require new paint.
The initial work included: rebuilding all the wheel brake cylinders, replacing all the rubber brake hoses, overhauling the master cylinders and new valve cover gaskets. It is a running and driving car -- the engine runs great with no smoke and the transmission shifts well.
The carpet, woodwork, leather and headlinerare all in very good condition and completely original. The new owners may want to replace the carpet. The door panel carpets have been replaced.The chrome is average. All the windows work well.

The underside has typical surface corrosion and there is the common rust damage in both the rocker panels and the rear quarter panels. These panels are readily available.It has the correct stainless steel exhaust.
Clearly, this car was driven and appreciated for many years, then placed in proper storage. We have the original factory build sheet. The title is a clear Kentucky title.
