A 1970s colour photo of a classic Bentley S3 parked on Craven Street in Charing Cross during the latter half of the 20th century. The luxury vehicle, bearing the registration CFU 728C, is finished in a deep midnight blue and displays the iconic chrome radiator grille and twin headlamp arrangement characteristic of the S3 model produced between 1962 and 1965. The car is positioned at the kerbside next to a vintage grey parking meter, with the historic soot-stained brickwork of the surrounding buildings providing a gritty contrast to the polished automobile. In the background, the entrance to “The Commonwealth Society” is visible, along with traditional sash windows and wooden doorways typical of this central London thoroughfare. Craven Street, located just off the Strand, has a long history of notable residents, including Benjamin Franklin, and this 1972 scene captures the quiet, prestigious atmosphere of the area during the early seventies.
