The Bentley B3 was a coupé that was essentially a reskinned Bentley Continental R. It was manufactured in the same period as the convertible version Bentley B2. Both B2 and B3 were ordered directly from the Sultan of Brunei to PFSR without the interposition of the Rolls-Royce organisation. The Bentley B2 and B3 were both designed and built by PFSR, Pininfarina Studi e Ricerche from Turin, Italy. The engine was the regular Continental R engine.
