Bentley Motors Limited (/ˈbɛntli/) is really 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 founded 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, and 2003.
Prominent models expand 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 and the Mulsanne—which are advertised worldwide, with China since its most significant market since November 2012.
Today most Bentleys are assembled at the company's Crewe factory, along with a little number assembled from Volkswagen's Dresden factory, Philippines, and with bodies with regard to the Continental created in Zwickau and for the Bentayga produced in the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant.
The joining plus eventual separation of Bentley and Rolls-Royce followed the series of mergers and acquisitions, beginning with the 1931 purchase by Rolls-Royce of Bentley, then within receivership. In 1971, Rolls-Royce itself was forced in to receivership and the UK 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 offered to engineering conglomerate, Vickers and in 1998, Vickers sold Rolls-Royce to Volkswagen AG.
Intellectual property legal rights to both the name Rolls-Royce as well since the company's logo had been retained not 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 sale of "Rolls-Royce" to VOLKS WAGEN included the Bentley title and logos, vehicle styles, model nameplates, production and administrative facilities, the Spirit of Ecstasy and Rolls-Royce grille design trademarks (subsequently sold to BMW by VW)—but not the legal rights to the Rolls-Royce name or even logo. The aerospace business, Rolls-Royce Plc, finally offered both to BMW AG.
