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.

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!

[@jdd3993]

As always, Charles Morgan delivers the passion and respect for motoring... I loved this segment!

[@travisolson9190]

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.

[@rare6499]

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.

[@mancunianlee]

Another brilliant video. It's a stunning car, you see it and know the driver is a classy bastard.

[@bentleynut1648]

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

[@lomate1963]

Love that girl with the moustache she reminds me of my mother 😊

[@bmull81]

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!

[@reyrob]

We need more videos of classic cars of the 50's and 60's Thanks for posting

[@iea96]

Absolutely loving this series. Keep em coming

[@sinimini]

What a beaut. Another fantastic video from Charles Morgan.

[@TheCruizer]

Really like the series with Charles Morgan. 👍

[@kzbzdau]

Another great review. One of my favourite presenters and very informative.

[@brandonmairs]

Charles still killin it!! Keep em coming Carfection. You guys really have a master piece brewing.

[@tdolan500]

Good that's elegant, another wonderful piece Charles, spot on.

[@05Forenza]

27 here. This car is still gorgeous. I would own one in a heartbeat.

[@DocWolph]

Joshua Kane... He looks like a caricature of a 1960s idea of a 1880s fop.

[@voicetube]

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."

[@4035andrew]

love this guy, his enthusiasm is perfect

[@Gambantein]

That car has so much class all my pinstripes in the wardrobe sharpened up...

[@0YouCanCallMeAl0]

I'll put it short: more of this guy please.

[@aarvin1]

I love this guy's review. So fuckin classy!

[@anastassiosperakis2869]

CLASSY????? This atrocity would not know classy if it bit it in its ugly ass!

[@Sheehy223]

Oh my God could you have picked a group of more stereotypical Hipsters?

[@RoelfvanderMerwe]

Jeezuz..... Who is that guy in the blue suit? Omg!!

[@faitho]

Charles Morgan FTW

[@jeffreydaniels7519]

A thing of beauty!

[@anastassiosperakis2869]

Only a blind person would think so. Or one with no taste.

[@MosesKaldor]

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.

[@Blacknight1812]

a real classy car, a must have for any garage.

[@brighton_dude]

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.

[@niptodstan]

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.

[@anastassiosperakis2869]

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!

[@sghotouk]

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

[@XoVoX]

love the other videos which Charles Morgan has made, but this one was lackluster. This being said, the car was still a beautiful pick.

[@malcolmgay2967]

Great car and presentation. In the words of Charles Dickens(?) - "more please sir"

[@JamesYoung61]

I am really enjoying your videos Charles, keep it up. :)

[@ArthurSperotto]

These videos are absolutely epic!

[@JSDesign.Hongkong]

Apart from incorrect tyres and the interior door handles being positioned incorrectly, this is an excellent example of the Koren-designed Continental. Happily, the presenter is spot on.

[@AnshVerma]

Charles Morgan is my new favorite host , he is so classy in his presentation.

[@darrelltuttle8298]

True luxury never dies.

[@glorious_help]

DEFINITELY KNOWS HOW TO WEAR A SUIT. COOL GUY!

[@ambergris5705]

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

[@OliverPickard]

lovely bit of kit

[@tomchile]

And on that bombshell. Great Charles Morgan! please review a Landrover Defender

[@shanehnorman]

No left-foot braking, Charles? It's a huge aid to smoother, safer, automatic progress.

[@johntechwriter]

It’s a great way to wear out your brake pads prematurely.

[@miurasvlamborghini]

I have never laid my eyes on that year Bentley, but I believe it is the most beautiful model (post W.O. Bentley era models).

[@marcangelozayco8216]

Fabulous Car. Alan Whicker had one.

[@danielfortuny9262]

Best Automobile ever. Period. Built to last a lifetime, an then some.

[@mikeheard4859]

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 .

[@museumz8686]

whoever you taxi'd around....I'm glad you made them all sit in the back.

[@Menda_Lerenda]

Why do you go to ask a guy that looks like a clown about a classic car? if it was a austin princess...

[@ianirvin8561]

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.

[@JSDesign.Hongkong]

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.

[@Pacmann123]

This video put me off Bentleys!

[@R2Magnum]

What a great video!

[@AnthonyMunyi]

What a striking car that is.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

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.

[@keyboarddancers7751]

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!

[@am6483]

Absolutely gorgeous, timeless classic. Also, the scenery and backdrop are stunning. One thing, is that a Ferris Wheel or some sort of Fair in the background at 8:36? Great review and tribute, very nicely done.

[@JourdannChrisstian]

Alexander McLeod That's London Eye

[@geriatricmotorcars9516]

Superb review Top man

[@JakeobE]

If you are a man who wears eyeliner, you don't get to talk about beauty.

[@shanehnorman]

That's David Bowie, Keith Richards, and many other aesthetes well fucked, then!

[@carolyngoebel-games8633]

douche

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

This tailor looks incredibly gay

[@Rentta]

Most of tailors are gay

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

+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

[@stephen9869]

Please review a Bristol Blenheim someday!

[@shanehnorman]

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.

[@benjonesthe3rd200]

3:23 it's the millennial Boy George

[@lonersanonymous]

Should have given Harriet a ride. She was alright.

[@tomtalk24]

But thick as two planks. "the way its very clean BUT the lines are very light". I reckon sugar daddy Morgan did anyway ;)

[@klaushaunstrupchristensen7252]

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!

[@nlpnt]

Was it meant to use 1957 Chrysler taillights but they had to switch to generic round trailer lights at the last minute?

[@Amajor34]

The "fashionista" in the blue suit almost made me vomit.

[@looking_33]

Wtf is with that guy with the blue suit!?,?

[@JonasRosenven]

He made me think of what the other guy said about "trying too hard to stand out".

[@CockatooDude]

He's a fashion designer, what'd you expect.

[@ivanmico1]

f*cking hipster

[@Oldbmwr100rs]

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..

[@ingvarhallstrom2306]

He tried too hard and tripped and fell into a window at Carnaby Street and this is what stuck to him...

[@uhugvjkbkjh]

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

[@samsungnvA51]

Which year model is this? Thanks

[@minibus1351]

its all fun and games until it....

[@nikb6528]

... drives around people like Joshua.

[@HassanEido1]

This series should be called :How to be passionate about cars like gentleman

[@Visionery1]

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.

[@RetroGamerVX]

I'm sorry, how can you possibly find out if it's cool by asking somebody who looks such an absolute pratt? lol

[@tdolan500]

Because you don't ask your plumber for his option on trends and modern style.

[@RetroGamerVX]

+Terry Dolan but you at least ask somebody who doesnt dress like an idiot, so has a valid oppinion

[@JoJoJoker]

Referring to the guy whose family started Morgan Motorcars and is wearing a $1,000+ suit?

[@JoJoJoker]

Ahh never mind. See what ya meant hah. Then again look at how people dressed in the 1960s.

[@traxnada]

1000? You're missing a 0 there my friend lol

[@JohnnyGification]

Maybe they should put the year of the car in the subject line?

[@benvg]

When the 60's rock came on I scrunched my face and complained. Magnificent car though.

[@SuperRogier]

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.

[@Seadweller451D]

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???

[@aftastosk6016]

I wonder why mr Morgan had to ridicule himself with these clowns.

[@E39ENTHUSIAST90]

i reallly liked the video, and of cours the car too. Nice!

[@jamesmatheson5115]

Im surprised someone hasnt put '59 Caddie taillight lens on it.

[@Sonnymonster]

The (Very un PC) ‘Chinese Eye’ headlamps are a Marmite thing🤔 I love Marmite❤️

[@FloShaban]

What is the outro music?

[@jam63112]

Love the car shape and the interior but vould prefer an other body colour (silver or dark blue)

[@ultrabeing1]

"There's this wonderful glass area" a windscreen?

[@richardharrold9736]

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...

[@felixarbable]

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.

[@bArda26]

review the silver shadow

[@VerboseSlayer]

3:14 in a game of "shoot the filthy hipster" this man would come out looking like swiss cheese after being shot 2-6 times by every participant.

[@billdexhart5179]

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.

[@lifeofjoyandcreation]

I see what you mean there. They don`t even look and seem like men, totally not.

[@cls63amgwagon34]

Yeah I def don't think this is good looking, a cool piece, of course, but objectively something off about it

[@JonasRosenven]

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.

[@markm0000]

When you say a car is "pure elegance" it better look like a 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic.

[@billdexhart5179]

Mark M I am not picking out this specific model, rather classic cars in general have something modern day creations lack.

[@philipchurchill6508]

nice car

[@fphedman]

i did not know skrillex had a brother...

[@gerardg1950]

This voice reminds me of James Mason

[@Theoneandonlybay2345]

If the Chinese guy from Veichle Virgins was ever a car, he would be this one!

What is the music after 6:30?

[@georgealderson4424]

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!

[@miguelreyes7880]

WOW 😍

[@ashmercury8247]

consider doing the singer porsche

[@JustinJaiC.]

They've done it already.

[@scootosan]

excuse me, do you have any Grey Poupon?

[@sixmagpies]

The word, darling, is elegant.

[@mik3ad]

Why not interview and getting the opinions other Londoners or people from the East end?
