Bentley Motors Limited (/ˈbɛntli/) is really a British manufacturer and internet marketer of luxury cars and SUVs—and a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group since 1998.
Headquartered in Crewe, England, the company was created as Bentley Motors Limited by W. O. Bentley in 1919 in Cricklewood, North London—and became broadly known for winning the particular 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, and 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, Continental GT, Bentley Bentayga plus the Mulsanne—which are marketed worldwide, with China because its greatest market since November 2012.
Today many Bentleys are assembled at the company's Crewe factory, along with a little number assembled at Volkswagen's Dresden factory, Germany, and with bodies for the Continental made within Zwickau as well as for the Bentayga created in the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant.
The joining plus 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 UK government nationalised the company—splitting into two companies the particular aerospace division (Rolls-Royce Plc) and automotive (Rolls-Royce Engines 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 Vw AG.
Intellectual property rights to both the title Rolls-Royce as well because the company's logo had 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 of "Rolls-Royce" to VW included the Bentley name and logos, vehicle styles, model nameplates, production and administrative facilities, the Spirit of Ecstasy and Rolls-Royce grille form trademarks (subsequently sold to BMW by VW)—but not the legal rights towards the Rolls-Royce name or even logo. The aerospace business, Rolls-Royce Plc, eventually marketed both to BMW AG.
