A Sixties Bentley is one of the best ways to experience mid-century British luxury, at the time when automakers were discovering and embracing some of the technologies that are commonplace even in 2026. One of Bentley’s signature offerings of the Sixties was the S3. Produced between 1962 and 1965 as the successor to the S2, the S3 merely improved upon the S2 rather than being a comprehensive evolution. Now, you can experience what an S3 is like with this 1965 Bentley S3 from Temecula, California. Packing just under 53,000 miles on the odometer, this Big Bentley comes with a 6.2-liter V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, and a regal two-tone paint job.

Exterior and Interior
Today’s Bentleys present themselves in fetching two-tone shades if you wish. That can be traced back several decades, to cars like this 1965 Bentley S3. Just look at that black over cream two-tone theme and tell us it doesn’t look out of place on a Continental or Mulsanne of today. The car’s regal design, quad headlamps and bulbous fenders are typical Bentley styling cues of the decade. Silver chromed hubcaps, whitewall tires, chrome bumpers and shiny mirrors are further signs of luxury, and were welcomed in the American market too. The cream Connolly leather of this 1965 Bentley S3 awaits up to five adults who will soon find themselves in period motoring paradise. Burr walnut veneers, a push-button radio and rear picnic tables are all features that you can enjoy. Today, you might place your phone or tab on those tables – it’s almost like Bentley envisioned the future of luxury travel back then! Bi-level climate control is also present, for optimal cabin temperature.
Engine
This 1965 Bentley S3 comes with a 6.2-liter V8 under its shapely hood. For the S3, the engine received larger carburetors and a higher compression ratio, enabling the car to achieve a 115mph top speed. Power goes to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. You’ve also got standard power steering and hydraulic drum brakes, making this Bentley one that you’ll want to take the wheel at every opportunity.
