The Bentley S3 and Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III represent the last
of their generation from Crewe. Elegant, and refined, they were
more ground-breaking for their time than they may be apparent
today.
Updated styling included a slightly lower radiator shell and
distinctive quad headlights. It was said the press at the time were
less than complementary and yet buyers, surely the ultimate
arbiters, were far more positive, and strong sales followed from
the traditional and affluent clientele.
The standard automatic gearbox paired well with the powerful 6230cc
V8 engine, which was now fitted with larger carburettors. A new
power steering system improved low speed manoeuvrability and a
Lucas vacuum advance distributor was fitted in an attempt to
improve fuel consumption.
Individual front seats replaced the split bench seat found in
previous models and many had electric windows and seat belts
fitted.
The S3 still has the ability to turn heads and harks back to a
simpler time, where empty roads and cheap fuel were the order of
the day. Top speed was a purposeful 116mph, should you feel the
need.
Just 1286 S3s were produced compared to 2044 Silver Cloud IIIs.
