This 1963 Bentley S3 was first sold as a four-door saloon by Joseph Cockshoot Ltd. of Manchester, England, and it was later modified in the style of a Drophead coupe. A subsequent refurbishment included refinishing the body in red and trimming the interior with white upholstery, and the car was owned by Bikram Choudhury before it was acquired by the seller. Power comes from a 6.2-liter V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, and amenities consist of a white soft top, driving lights, whitewall tires, rear tray tables, and wood and chrome trim.
Delivered from the factory as a Dawn Blue saloon, the car was modified during prior ownership in the style of a Drophead coupe. Subsequently work included refinishing the body in red with white accent stripes running below the window line to the front fenders. Equipment includes a white soft top with a matching boot, driving lights, chrome trim, fender-mounted mirrors, and a “Flying B” hood ornament, and the BC monograms on the doors.
Steel 15″ wheels wear polished covers with body-color centers and are wrapped in 225/75 Coker Classic whitewall tires. The car is equipped with both power-assisted steering and four-wheel drum brakes.
The right-hand-drive cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in white leather with red piping, and the burl wooden dashboard is topped by a red pad. Bentley-logo embroidery accents the seats and boot cover, and the red carpeting is protected by floor mats. Additional equipment include power windows, chrome accents, red seatbelts, and rear tray tables.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation, which consists of a 120-mph speedometer, an analog clock, an ammeter, and gauges coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. Under 19k miles are shown on the five-digit odometer, with total mileage unknown.
The 6.2-liter V8 features a cast-aluminum block and cylinder heads, power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
