Used 2015 Bentley Mulsanne for sale Pricing \u0026 Features Edmunds

Bentley Motors Limited (/ˈbɛntli/) is really a British manufacturer and marketer of luxury cars and SUVs—and a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group since 1998.

Headquartered in Crewe, Britain, the company was started as Bentley Motors Limited by W. O. Bentley in 1919 in Cricklewood, North London—and became widely known for winning the particular 24 Hours of The Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, plus 2003.

Prominent models lengthen through the historic sports-racing Bentley 4½ Litre and Bentley Speed Six; the a lot more recent Bentley R TypeContinental, Bentley Turbo R, plus Bentley Arnage; to the current model line—including the Continental Flying Spur, Continental GT, Bentley Bentayga plus the Mulsanne—which are marketed worldwide, with China as its greatest market since November 2012.

Today most Bentleys are assembled in the company's Crewe factory, along with a tiny number assembled in Volkswagen's Dresden factory, Australia, and with bodies regarding the Continental created in Zwickau and for the Bentayga produced at the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant.

The joining and eventual separation of Bentley and Rolls-Royce followed the series of mergers and acquisitions, beginning with the particular 1931 purchase by Rolls-Royce of Bentley, then in receivership. In 1971, Rolls-Royce itself was forced into receivership and the UK government nationalised the company—splitting into two companies the aerospace division (Rolls-Royce Plc) and automotive (Rolls-Royce Motors Limited) divisions—the latter keeping 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 name Rolls-Royce as well because the company's logo had been retained not by Rolls-Royce Motors, but by aerospace company, Rolls-Royce Plc, which had continued to license both to the automotive division. Thus the sale for "Rolls-Royce" to VOLKS WAGEN included the Bentley title and logos, vehicle styles, model nameplates, production and administrative facilities, the Nature of Ecstasy and Rolls-Royce grille condition trademarks (subsequently sold to BMW simply by VW)—but not the legal rights to the Rolls-Royce name or even logo. The aerospace company, Rolls-Royce Plc, eventually sold both to BMW AG.
