Bentley Motors Limited is a UK-based premium luxury car manufacturer. The company was established by Walter Owen Bentley, in 1919, and has its headquarters in Crewe, England. It has been owned by the Volkswagen Group of Germany since 1998. In India, Bentley Motors caters to the consumers of top-end luxury cars.
Bentley Motor Car Company enjoys the love and affection of the people of British. This company is 82 years old and still enjoys the loyalty of the people. Bentley Motors has a history full of turns and twists and quite an interesting one too. The company's father, Walter Owen Bentley, began its career as a railroad engineering apprentice. But soon he started racing via motorcycle circuit. During the war Walter Bentley dealt with aircrafts and that was the underlying cause that determined his idea of establishing an automobile factory of his own.
Eventually in 1919 Bentley Motors was born in England and two years later the first Bentley models saw the light. They were the 3-litre Bentleys. Walter Bentley was a racer in heart and he was aimed at manufacturing sport cars. His racing cars immediately became winners of the 24 Hours of Le Mans but that did not last long. Bentley Motors, Ltd was a privately founded company and Walter Bentley did not have either a lot of money on hand nor a good reliable sponsor. The Great Depression damaged British manufacturers greatly and Bentley Motors did no escape the common lot.
By that time Bentley has already decided to expand the production and pay more attention to the models that can attract more customers. Therefore luxurious Bentleys appeared and became the powerful rivals of Rolls-Royces. Gripped in a financial vice Bentley had to sell the company to Rolls-Royce. Bentley himself worked at Rolls-Royce for some time. The Cars produced during that period were a fusion of sporting Bentley and luxurious Rolls-Royces and even got the name Rolls-Bentley. But unlike their predecessors, Rolls-Bentleys were no more the winners of prestigious races.
World War II was another plight that almost devastated the company. But step by step Bentleys have regained their reputation. In the 1980s Bentley experienced another boom of popularity and increased sales. The Volkswagen Group, a German company, has been the owner of Bentley since 1998. From then on, there was no looking back and Bentley motors went on to make some of the finest cars ever known. In reality fewer people bought them due to their high prices but still everyone secretly thought of taking control of one of these.
