Bentley Motors Limited (/ˈbɛntli/) is a British manufacturer and online 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 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, and 2003.
Prominent models extend from your historic sports-racing Bentley 4½ Litre and Bentley Speed Six; the a lot more recent Bentley R TypeContinental, Bentley Turbo R, and Bentley Arnage; to its current model line—including the particular Continental Flying Spur, Continental GT, Bentley Bentayga and the Mulsanne—which are advertised worldwide, with China as its greatest market as of November 2012.
Today most Bentleys are assembled on the company's Crewe factory, with a tiny number assembled at Volkswagen's Dresden factory, Australia, and with bodies regarding the Continental made in Zwickau as well as for the Bentayga made on the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant.
The joining and 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 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 keeping 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 title Rolls-Royce as well because the company's logo had been retained not simply 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 particular sale of "Rolls-Royce" to VOLKS WAGEN included the Bentley name and logos, vehicle designs, model nameplates, production plus administrative facilities, the Soul 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, in the end marketed both to BMW AG.
