Bentley Motors Limited (/ˈbɛntli/) is really a British manufacturer and internet marketer of luxury cars plus SUVs—and a subsidiary from 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 particular 24 Hours of The Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, plus 2003.
Prominent models lengthen from the historic sports-racing Bentley 4½ Litre and Bentley Speed Six; the a lot more recent Bentley R TypeContinental, Bentley Turbo R, and Bentley Arnage; to its current model line—including the particular Continental Flying Spur, Continental GT, Bentley Bentayga plus the Mulsanne—which are promoted worldwide, with China since its biggest market as of November 2012.
Today the majority of Bentleys are assembled in the company's Crewe factory, with a tiny number assembled at Volkswagen's Dresden factory, Philippines, and with bodies with regard to the Continental made within Zwickau as well as for the Bentayga produced on the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant.
The joining and eventual separation of Bentley and Rolls-Royce followed a series of mergers and 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 UNITED KINGDOM government nationalised the company—splitting into two companies the aerospace division (Rolls-Royce Plc) and automotive (Rolls-Royce Motors Limited) divisions—the latter retaining the Bentley subdivision. Rolls-Royce Motors was subsequently marketed to engineering conglomerate, Vickers and in 1998, Vickers sold Rolls-Royce to Volkswagen AG.
Intellectual property rights to both the title Rolls-Royce as well as the company's logo had been retained not simply by Rolls-Royce Motors, but simply by aerospace company, Rolls-Royce Plc, which had continued in order to license both to the automotive division. Thus the particular sale for "Rolls-Royce" to VOLKS WAGEN included the Bentley title and logos, vehicle designs, model nameplates, production plus administrative facilities, the Spirit of Ecstasy and Rolls-Royce grille form trademarks (subsequently sold to BMW simply by VW)—but not the legal rights to the Rolls-Royce name or even logo. The aerospace business, Rolls-Royce Plc, eventually sold both to BMW AG.
