Description:
The Bentley S-Series, together with its Rolls-Royce stablemate, are truly the last coachbuilt, traditional saloons from Crewe with an elegant, timeless Tom Blatchley designed body resting on a separate chassis. Rightfully labelled “the best car in the world” they have lost nothing of their magical aura and to many still represent the epitome of automotive luxury. This impressive Bentley S3 with its right hand drive was imported from the USA into Switzerland a number of years ago. Five years ago, it was bought by the vendor. He recently had the complete interior restored. The coachwork is in good condition showing some patina. The strong 6.3 litre V8 engine and the rest of the mechanics function faultlessly. The last Swiss Veteran MOT was completed in April 2018.

Deutsch:
Die Bentley S-Serie und ihr Rolls-Royce Schwestermodell sind die letzten traditionellen Limousinen aus Crewe mit einer eleganten, zeitlosen, von Tom Blatchley entworfenen Karosserie und eigenem Chassis. Zu Recht als "das beste Auto der Welt" bezeichnet, haben sie nichts von ihrer magischen Aura verloren und sind für viele immer noch der Inbegriff von automobilem Luxus. Dieser imposante Bentley S3 mit Rechtslenkung wurde vor einigen Jahren aus den USA in die Schweiz importiert. Vor rund 5 Jahren wurde der Wagen vom Einlieferer übernommen. Dieser liess kürzlich die Innenausstattung komplett restaurieren. Die Karosserie befindet sich in gutem Zustand mit Patina. Der robuste V8 Motor und die Mechanik funktionieren gut. Die letzte MFK als Veteranenfahrzeug erfolgte im April 2018.
