Bentley Motors Limited is a British based manufacturer of luxury automobiles and Grand Tourers. Bentley Motors was founded in England on January 18, 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley. After a hayday of racing victories in the late 1920s, Bentley was sold to Rolls-Royce in 1931 and became subsumed as an alternative badge of the main Rolls-Royce line. In the 1980s Rolls began to distinguish the Bently marque as a high performance more sporty version of Rolls-Royce cars. A differentiation that has accelerated following the group's sale to Volkswagen AG. Photo credit: Dan Smith |
