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 The Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, plus 2003.
Prominent models expand 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 particular Continental Flying Spur, Continental GT, Bentley Bentayga plus the Mulsanne—which are marketed worldwide, with China as its biggest market as of November 2012.
Today the majority of Bentleys are assembled in the company's Crewe factory, with a smaller number assembled in Volkswagen's Dresden factory, Germany, and with bodies for the Continental made in Zwickau and for the Bentayga produced in the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant.
The joining and eventual separation of Bentley and Rolls-Royce followed the series of mergers and acquisitions, beginning with the particular 1931 purchase by Rolls-Royce of Bentley, then in receivership. In 1971, Rolls-Royce itself was forced into 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 keeping the Bentley subdivision. Rolls-Royce Motors was subsequently sold to engineering conglomerate, Vickers and in 1998, Vickers sold Rolls-Royce to Volkswagen AG.
Intellectual property rights to both the title Rolls-Royce as well since the company's logo got been retained not simply by Rolls-Royce Motors, but by aerospace company, Rolls-Royce Plc, which had continued to license both to the 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 design trademarks (subsequently sold to BMW by VW)—but not the legal rights towards the Rolls-Royce name or even logo. The aerospace company, Rolls-Royce Plc, eventually sold both to BMW AG.
