The Bentley S3 is a four-door luxury car produced by Bentley from late 1962 until 1965. The S3 was very similar to the S2, with the most-visible exterior difference being a four-headlamp layout reflecting that introduced on the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III the same model year. The interior was modified with individual seats for front passengers and increased leg room in the rear. The 6.2 L (6230 cc/380 in³) V8 engine continued with minor modifications. The power steering was also improved. Prices Bentley S3 saloon: £6,126, over triple the British-built top of the range Jaguar Mark X £2,022 (including all taxes). Park Ward Continental sports saloon: £8,495, a premium of about 40% over an S3. Production Bentley S3: 1286 (1 drophead coupé by Mulliner Park Ward) Bentley S3 long wheelbase: 32 (7 with coachbuilt bodies by James Young) (Continental below) Changes from S2 The S3 was first announced and displayed at the Paris Motor Show October 1962.

Interior Front passengers now sit behind a fascia brow padded for extra safety and they have individual split-bench seats; the rear seat is two inches further back with modified corners and shoulder padding. Operating Lighter power steering More powerful engine, Horse-power increased 7 percent by employing a higher compression ratio, 9:1 instead of 8:1 and larger carburettors to give higher performance - improved acceleration and a top speed of 115 mph with no loss of economy; for the American market an engine "breather" to reduce air pollution. S3 Continental In 1959, Rolls-Royce acquired H. J. Mulliner & Co., coachbuilders (HJM). In 1961, HJM was merged with Park Ward, which had been in the possession of Rolls-Royce since 1939, to form Mulliner, Park Ward Ltd. (MPW). When production of the S3 Continentals commenced there were more differences than the adaption of the previous HJM design by Mulliner Park Ward: The cars were built at the former Park Ward premises in Willesden, North London. The HJM facilities were abandoned. The S3 Continental was strictly coachbuilt. Most bodies were of the altered HJM style, available in fixed
