Bentley Motors Limited (/ˈbɛntli/) is a British manufacturer and internet marketer of luxury cars and SUVs—and a subsidiary from the Volkswagen Group since 1998.
Headquartered in Crewe, Britain, the company was started as Bentley Motors Restricted 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 extend from your historic sports-racing Bentley 4½ Litre and Bentley Speed Six; the more recent Bentley R TypeContinental, Bentley Turbo R, and Bentley Arnage; to the current model line—including the Continental Flying Spur, Ls GT, Bentley Bentayga and the Mulsanne—which are marketed worldwide, with China since its most significant market as of 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 made in Zwickau as well as for the Bentayga produced at the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant.
The joining and eventual separation of Bentley and Rolls-Royce followed a 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 directly into 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 sold to engineering conglomerate, Vickers and in 1998, Vickers sold Rolls-Royce to Vw AG.
Intellectual property legal rights to both the name Rolls-Royce as well because the company's logo had 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 particular automotive division. Thus the particular sale of "Rolls-Royce" to VW included the Bentley name 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 towards the Rolls-Royce name or logo. The aerospace business, Rolls-Royce Plc, eventually sold both to BMW AG.
