Oh my God could you have picked a group of more stereotypical Hipsters?
Love that girl with the moustache she reminds me of my mother 😊
Charles Morgan should have his own tv programme, the production of these films is that good. Or just carry on asking him back as many times as he's free, the internet lacks content that's this good.

Hope you love these wonderful beauties and their details.
I saw my first one of these in an auto dealership in Houston, Texas in 1966. I was a boy in junior high. This car with its interesting front end stood out among the other cars sold there including a Mark 10 jaguar, and bunches of triumph and MG Sports cars I still prefer the original single headlight front end, but this is also so beautiful. Thank you so much!
Another brilliant video. It's a stunning car, you see it and know the driver is a classy bastard.
I love Mr Morgan. This is a beautiful car, pure class. This has so much more class and charisma over any current Bentley they aren't even comparable.
I owned a convertible version of this design, but it was the Rolls Royce version. It was my favorite classic car. Wow, that design is so unique and so 1960’s. Great review and a superb car
Why do you go to ask a guy that looks like a clown about a classic car? if it was a austin princess...
Joselo Aero because he's not supposed to like the car but he did. Just shows that the bentley is beautiful and can be appreciated by most people even eyeliner wearing millenials.
I'm sorry, how can you possibly find out if it's cool by asking somebody who looks such an absolute pratt? lol
Because you don't ask your plumber for his option on trends and modern style.
+Terry Dolan but you at least ask somebody who doesnt dress like an idiot, so has a valid oppinion
Referring to the guy whose family started Morgan Motorcars and is wearing a $1,000+ suit?
Ahh never mind. See what ya meant hah. Then again look at how people dressed in the 1960s.
1000? You're missing a 0 there my friend lol
We need more videos of classic cars of the 50's and 60's
Thanks for posting
Jeezuz..... Who is that guy in the blue suit? Omg!!
Why smear a beautiful classic with some kind of freak show?? Mr Morgan usually does better than this.
If you are a man who wears eyeliner, you don't get to talk about beauty.
That's David Bowie, Keith Richards, and many other aesthetes well fucked, then!
douche
This tailor looks incredibly gay
Most of tailors are gay
+Rentta Yeah Most male hair dressers are gay, but tailors? I want my tailor to be classic and talented, I don't really care if he likes women, men or trees
27 here. This car is still gorgeous. I would own one in a heartbeat.
Wtf is with that guy with the blue suit!?,?
He made me think of what the other guy said about "trying too hard to stand out".
He's a fashion designer, what'd you expect.
f*cking hipster
At first i thought it was a Cap'n Jack Sparrow impersonator, one of the ones who poses for tourists, who had just changed clothes! Or just some drugged out whack job guy in the street..
He tried too hard and tripped and fell into a window at Carnaby Street and this is what stuck to him...
lovely bit of kit
The "fashionista" in the blue suit almost made me vomit.
Now THAT'S luxury!
I think I've only seen 2 in my life - both in Los Angeles.
One of them was definitely an iconic experience: this must been either in the late 70s or early 80s & I was riding on my little motorcycle I think possibly going up Wilton Avenue (or somewhere in Hollywood close to Wilton) and we were traveling north, probably not far from Beverly Boulevard. We got to a stoplight and when I looked to my left and saw, driving one of these cars, the late great game show host, Jack Barry!
I remember he was wearing these classes down on his nose (maybe he was reading a newspaper at stop lights?) and I seem to recall waving at him a little, to which he gave me a little nod and maybe a small wave, but I got the idea that he got lots of attention all the time (he was quite famous nationally). He either had the Rolls-Royce or the Bentley edition - I'm leaning toward thinking it was the Rolls-Royce. But there was NO mistaking those slanted headlights - I always think of that as the "Jack Barry car."
Joshua Kane... He looks like a caricature of a 1960s idea of a 1880s fop.
Asking freaks to assess the style of a Bentley? Obscene.
a real classy car, a must have for any garage.
Downvoted for the hoodlums that were brought in. I'm talking about chief yobo who wears mascara/ eyeliner /eye-thing with silly hair on his mouth. The car, too irritated to say anything about it.
Please review a Bristol Blenheim someday!
No left-foot braking, Charles? It's a huge aid to smoother, safer, automatic progress.
It’s a great way to wear out your brake pads prematurely.
These videos are absolutely epic!
What a change this styling was for Bentley back in the day! I found it to be shocking. Now, the style has held up very well, except for the sort of disconnect between the roundness of the front and the slab-sided, drawn out rear quarters. The tail light section lacks all grace...but THAT front and THAT interior and all the window glass.
Should have given Harriet a ride. She was alright.
But thick as two planks. "the way its very clean BUT the lines are very light". I reckon sugar daddy Morgan did anyway ;)
As always, Charles Morgan delivers the passion and respect for motoring... I loved this segment!
This is the only proper review of an S3 anywhere. Easily the coolest car ever to come out of the Rolls/Bentley stable. Would've been nice if you'd also offered a lift to Harriet!
review the silver shadow
Joshua mate, I understand eccentricity but come on that's too much. As with everything in life we must know where to stop. Nice video!
he's not eccentric, he's just desperately trying to be
@@olim6608 possibly both
Truly beautiful car, and expertly presented, thank you! As a teenage lad, mad keen on cars, I accompnied my mother to one of her chums parties. Our hostess had a new friend, who was "Something to do with cars", which interested me....
It was probably around 1963/4, since mum was driving the shiny new family car, a very, very early Lotus Cortina. I was swiftly introduced to 'Wim' who was a charming bloke, very knowledgeable indeed. He was asking what I thought of RR/Bentley models in comparison with similar class cars, and I went into full teen-nerd obsessive detail. To sum up, I told Vilhelm Koren that the only two cars in this class worth discussing were the S2 Continental Park Ward and the S3 which I had seen for the first time that month. I was about to elaborate that I was unsure whether I preferred the single headlight or dual headlight treatment when he told me his role in their design.
Did I mis-hear his name that day? I've been sure until this week that he was called "Wim", perhaps a nickname?
But he was a proper gent, very tolerant of a voluble kid who was determined to become an automotive engineer, and eventually did!
True luxury never dies.
Why would you ask irrelevant people their opinion about something they don't know anything about? It has been said numerous times in the comments, but I watch this channel for facts and nice stories about cars I don't or barely know. Please stick to real content, I'm not interested in 'vloggers' or whatever.
I wonder why mr Morgan had to ridicule himself with these clowns.
I'm a big fan of Mr. Morgan's reviews, but I wasn't able to watch the whole video. Those ultra - hipster - fashionistas - douchebags... ufff, what an eye sore. It's THIS what you've got to represent today's young generation?? Okay...
Dear gents at Carfection, the only 2 things you need for this segment are:
- A car
- Mr. Morgan
That's it.
Actually Pedro, those people are the minority of current day younger generation who see the value and standing of a bygone era. Missed the point I'm afraid.
its all fun and games until it....
... drives around people like Joshua.
A car of elegance. Discrete luxury devoid of vulgarity.
I wish this type of car will come back not only in the luxury segment but in lower priced cars as well.
We are facing the introduction of a new breed of noise and vibration free electric cars. This will be a golden opportunity to bring us cars which floats forward in serene comfort and isolation rather than racing down the Nurburgring!
Thank you so much for making this series, the S3 has been a true love for me, there is a convertible one near me I see often driving around late at night. So fitting.
love the other videos which Charles Morgan has made, but this one was lackluster. This being said, the car was still a beautiful pick.
As much as i see that these later bentlys had their iconic moments the only real bentlys that interest me are the pre-war W.O Bentlys. Really I think his true spirit lived on in the lagondas he engineered after the war. under RR ownership Bently became something totally different, no more brilliant engines land speed records or Indy 500 wins. Overall even if really i think Ettoire Bugatti the more interesting man and engineer overall W.O Bently must be considered one of the greats.
I thought this was an excellent video and talking to the guys in Shoreditch was a great idea. I have seen some negative comments about this, but I think it was the right thing to do with this particular car.
I love this guy's review. So fuckin classy!
CLASSY????? This atrocity would not know classy if it bit it in its ugly ass!
What a great video!
3:23 it's the millennial Boy George
Im surprised someone hasnt put '59 Caddie taillight lens on it.
Superb review
Top man
When the 60's rock came on I scrunched my face and complained. Magnificent car though.
Less hipsters please.
I found that the video took a bit of time to find its rhythm, but when he began to drive alone in London... The whole world changed
Fabulous Car. Alan Whicker had one.
Lol, that guy in the blue suit. Wtf?
classic cars have souls, you can see that the designers made something they love, now they have "rules" or else they can't release their cars, some cars are forms of art to be honest
احب السيارات الاكلاسكيه
Love the car shape and the interior but vould prefer an other body colour (silver or dark blue)
DEFINITELY KNOWS HOW TO WEAR A SUIT. COOL GUY!
i did not know skrillex had a brother...
Joshua Kane has his tailors shop in that market, so I guess choosing spitalfields for the shoot made it relevant to choose a local trendy tailor. Just sayin
Really like the series with Charles Morgan. 👍
I'll put it short: more of this guy please.
I was going to write a smart arse comment about that rattle when he went over a bump. I then realised it was probably the camera mounting. Gorgeous car.
The SIII Continental was not the last “coachbuilt’ Bentley!!! What about the James Young TI’s & later Continental’s & Azure models by HJ Mulliner-Park ward???
Joshua ruined the video.
Why not interview and getting the opinions other Londoners or people from the East end?
I am ashamed these guys had to represent my generation!
On the car, I really like classic cars and I really like this. However, I don't think it is good looking. Taste, really.
Pure elegance is really something we don't find anymore in car design. It's usually just aggressive styling or show off-y.
I see what you mean there. They don`t even look and seem like men, totally not.
Yeah I def don't think this is good looking, a cool piece, of course, but objectively something off about it
At first I thought the designer was a girl wearing a fake moustache. I mean that as a compliment as I'm convinced that was the look he was going for. The car is so understated and gorgeous - a lot of car designers could learn from that.
When you say a car is "pure elegance" it better look like a 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic.
Mark M I am not picking out this specific model, rather classic cars in general have something modern day creations lack.
This voice reminds me of James Mason
"There's this wonderful glass area" a windscreen?
He's referring to the large area of glass throughout the car, not just the windscreen, in stark contrast to modern cars, which feel like luxuriously-furnished WW2 pillboxes by comparison...
And on that bombshell.
Great Charles Morgan! please review a Landrover Defender
Another great review. One of my favourite presenters and very informative.
I note that the registration plate is "A" ie 1963 but the car is called 53. Have I misunderstood ? Oh it is not 53 it is S3 ...and my optician iz retiring soon. I am doomed to the challenges of old age already!
Charles Morgan FTW
What a beaut. Another fantastic video from Charles Morgan.
Ya ya ya!...gin and tonic, Marvelous, ya ya, expensive watch, ya ya, wonderful ya ya ya ya. Expensive coke, ya ya.
The design more suitable for the Bentley bonnet was the most elegant car ever to leave the Park Ward factory, the best looking Bentley by far .
If Joshua Kane goes out in public with those glasses and eyeliner, then I guess I don't really have to worry about my skinny legs.
Mesmerising front, rear and inside, but remove those fugly headlights, please. Great episode, just too short!
Oooh - That's STYLE. Only thing that spoils it for me is the silly 'Chinese' headlights. SWOOSH!
love continental i have a 1961 . rolls royce silver cloud 2. not like the clown in the blue suit. i repare the cloud my self,
The (Very un PC) ‘Chinese Eye’ headlamps are a Marmite thing🤔 I love Marmite❤️
Was it meant to use 1957 Chrysler taillights but they had to switch to generic round trailer lights at the last minute?
consider doing the singer porsche
They've done it already.
2022
Kane lost just about everything !! silly clothes for silly people .
where the hell is Alex ?!
Absolutely loving this series. Keep em coming
But Keith Richards had the 4 door saloon version and lost a gf to Mick Jagger.
Without its ugly chinese eyes and its outdated tailfins, the car's design would be timeless
If the Chinese guy from Veichle Virgins was ever a car, he would be this one!
Best Automobile ever. Period. Built to last a lifetime, an then some.
It is nice --- toodays Generation like of old Masters Jop . ...
Casting an artifical pearl before genuine swines for advice 😀
6:23 Don't get stabbed by a knife weidling Muslim!
Maybe they should put the year of the car in the subject line?
3.00 I thought that was a chick with a drawn on beard and suit
i do prefer the s3 continental flying spur .......................
if I was incredibly wealthy I would buy this car, ship it to Los Angeles and have Jonathan Ward @ICON and his crew work their 21st century magic. it would be too awesome for words
Lol 800hp AWD Bentley S3 Continental would be sick.
And do what to it that is currently lacking?
It needs just two things. Better brakes (the stock ones on the S3 are shockingly awful) and more power (200ish bhp in that big old boat just isn't enough). Otherwise, keep it as original as possible.
One silly error: Keith Richards' Continental, known as 'Blue Lena', was an S2, not an S3, as can clearly be seen in the photo of it. And, while he did go to the South of France in it, it was on the return journey that Anita Pallenberg, having dumped Brian Jones, accompanied him and the two fell in love.
I can't believe people dislike this car. But I suppose those people think a star is someone on a stage playing with a record player.
You SHOULD. It is ATrocious. The silly headlights and taillights would look bad even in a damned CHEVY, let alone a BENTLEY. Grow some good taste!
Undoubtedly a stunning car but surely the H J Mulliner Continental (the one Keith Richards had) was even more beautiful than this Park Ward example.
What a fun video. A delicious car travelling through the streets of London. I do hope you eventually managed to properly position in the interior door handles, which are pointing backwards in the video.
Which year model is this? Thanks
