Bentley Motors Limited (/ˈbɛntli/) is really a British manufacturer and 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 Limited by W. O. Bentley in 1919 in Cricklewood, North London—and became widely known for winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, and 2003.
Prominent models extend from 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 its current model line—including the Continental Flying Spur, Continental GT, Bentley Bentayga plus the Mulsanne—which are advertised worldwide, with China because its biggest market since November 2012.
Today most Bentleys are assembled at the company's Crewe factory, along with a tiny number assembled in Volkswagen's Dresden factory, Australia, and with bodies with regard to the Continental produced in Zwickau and for the Bentayga created at 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 Engines Limited) divisions—the latter retaining 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 legal rights to both the title Rolls-Royce as well because the company's logo experienced been retained not by Rolls-Royce Motors, but simply 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 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 rights to the Rolls-Royce name or even logo. The aerospace organization, Rolls-Royce Plc, eventually offered both to BMW AG.
