1986 Bentley Eight Information and photos MOMENTcar

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

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

Prominent models expand from the historic sports-racing Bentley 4½ Litre and Bentley Speed Six; the more recent Bentley R TypeContinental, Bentley Turbo R, plus Bentley Arnage; to its current model line—including the particular Continental Flying Spur, Ls GT, Bentley Bentayga and the Mulsanne—which are promoted worldwide, with China since its most significant market as of November 2012.

Today most Bentleys are assembled in the company's Crewe factory, along with a little number assembled in Volkswagen's Dresden factory, Philippines, and with bodies with regard to the Continental made in Zwickau and for the Bentayga produced on the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant.

The joining plus 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 name Rolls-Royce as well since the company's logo experienced 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 particular automotive division. Thus the sale for "Rolls-Royce" to VW included the Bentley title and logos, vehicle designs, model nameplates, production and administrative facilities, the Spirit of Ecstasy and Rolls-Royce grille condition trademarks (subsequently sold to BMW by VW)—but not the legal rights towards the Rolls-Royce name or logo. The aerospace organization, Rolls-Royce Plc, finally sold both to BMW AG.
