Bentley Motors Limited (/ˈbɛntli/) is a British manufacturer and online marketer of luxury cars and SUVs—and a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group since 1998.
Headquartered in Crewe, England, the company was founded as Bentley Motors Restricted by W. O. Bentley in 1919 in Cricklewood, North London—and became broadly known for winning the 24 Hours of The Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, and 2003.
Prominent models expand through the historic sports-racing Bentley 4½ Litre and Bentley Speed Six; the more recent Bentley R TypeContinental, Bentley Turbo R, plus Bentley Arnage; to the current model line—including the Continental Flying Spur, Ls GT, Bentley Bentayga and the Mulsanne—which are promoted worldwide, with China as its greatest market since November 2012.
Today many Bentleys are assembled at the company's Crewe factory, along with a tiny number assembled from Volkswagen's Dresden factory, Philippines, and with bodies for the Continental made in Zwickau and for the Bentayga created on the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant.
The joining plus eventual separation of Bentley and Rolls-Royce followed the series of mergers plus acquisitions, beginning with the 1931 purchase by Rolls-Royce of Bentley, then in receivership. In 1971, Rolls-Royce itself was forced in to receivership and the UK government nationalised the company—splitting into two companies the particular aerospace division (Rolls-Royce Plc) and automotive (Rolls-Royce Engines Limited) divisions—the latter keeping the Bentley subdivision. Rolls-Royce Motors was subsequently sold to engineering conglomerate, Vickers and in 1998, Vickers sold Rolls-Royce to Vw AG.
Intellectual property rights to both the name Rolls-Royce as well because the company's logo experienced been retained not simply by Rolls-Royce Motors, but by aerospace company, Rolls-Royce Plc, which had continued in order to license both to the automotive division. Thus the particular sale of "Rolls-Royce" to VW included the Bentley title and logos, vehicle styles, model nameplates, production and administrative facilities, the Soul of Ecstasy and Rolls-Royce grille condition trademarks (subsequently sold to BMW by VW)—but not the rights to the Rolls-Royce name or even logo. The aerospace business, Rolls-Royce Plc, in the end marketed both to BMW AG.
