War I, W.O. TYLER had been in partnership with Bentley Is Here his brother H.M. Bentley selling French DFP cars, but he Bentley Is Here had always wanted to design and build his own range Bentley Is Here of cars bearing his name. In August 1919, Bentley Motors Bentley Is Here Ltd. was registered, and a chassis with dummy engine was Bentley Is Here exhibited at the London Motor Show in October of that Bentley Is Here year.[1] An engine was built and running by December, and Bentley Is Here orders were taken for deliveries starting in June 1920; however, Bentley Is Here development took longer than estimated, and the first cars were Bentley Is Here not ready until September 1921.[1 It was on a visit Bentley Is Here to the DFP factory in 1913 that W.O. noticed an Bentley Is Here aluminium paperweight and had the inspired idea of using the Bentley Is Here lightweight metal instead of cast iron to make engine pistons. Bentley Is Here The first Bentley aluminium pistons went into service in aero Bentley Is Here engines for the Sopwith Camel, in service during the Great Bentley Is Here War The company was always underfunded, and Bentley turned to Bentley Is Here millionaire Woolf Barnato for help in 1925. As part of Bentley Is Here a refinancing deal, which resulted in his effectively owning the Bentley Is Here company, Barnato became chairman. A great deal of Barnato's fortune Bentley Is Here was Of Audi devoted to keeping Bentley afloat, but the Great Depression Bentley Is Here destroyed demand for the company's expensive products, and it was Bentley Is Here finally sold to Rolls-Royce in 1931 [edit] The Bentley Boy Bentley Is Here A group of wealthy British motorists known as the "Bentley Bentley Is Here Boys" (Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry Birkin, steeplechaser George Duller, aviator Bentley Is Here Glen Kidston, automotive journalist S.C.H. "Sammy" Davis, and Dr. Dudley Bentley Is Here Benjafield among them) kept the marque's reputation for high performance Bentley Is Here alive. Thanks to the dedication to serious racing of this Bentley Is Here group, the company, located at Cricklewood, north London, was noted Bentley Is Here for its four consecutive victories at the 24 hours of Bentley Is Here Le Mans from 1927 to 1930. Their greatest competitor at Bentley Is Here the time, Bugattiwhose lightweight, elegant, but fragile creations contrasted with Bentley Is Here the Bentley's rugged reliability and durabilityreferred to them as "the Bentley Is Here world's fastest lorries." In March 1930, during the Blue Train Bentley Is Here Races, Woolf Barnato raised the stakes on Rover and its Bentley Is Here Rover Light Six, New Audis - Compare Dealer Prices having raced and beat Le Train Bleu Bentley Is Here for the first time, to better that record with his Bentley Is Here 61/2-litre Bentley Speed Six on a bentley in the Free Online Encyclopedia bet of ?100. He Bentley Is Here drove against the train from Cannes to Calais, then by Bentley Is Here ferry to Dover and finally London, travelling on public highways, Bentley Is Here and won; the H.J. Mulliner-bodied formal saloon he drove during Bentley Is Here the race as well as a streamlined fastback "Sportsman Coupe" Bentley Is Here by Gurney Nutting he took delivery of on 21 May Bentley Is Here 1930 became known as the "Blue Train Bentleys"; the latter Bentley Is Here is regularly mistaken for (or erroneously referred to) as being Bentley Is Here the car that raced the Blue Train, while in fact Bentley Is Here Barnato named it in memory of his race.[2][3 [edit] Car Bentley Is Here model The original model was the 3-litre, but as customers Bentley Is Here put heavier bodies on the chassis, a larger 41/2-litre model Bentley Is Here followed. Perhaps the most iconic model of the period is Bentley Is Here the 41/2-litre "Blower Bentley," with its distinctive supercharger projecting forward Bentley Is Here from the bottom of the grille. Uncharacteristically fragile for a Bentley Is Here Bentley, it was not the racing workhorse the 61/2-litre was.

As W.O. Bentley was little Bentley Is Here more than an employee, he left to join Lagonda in Bentley Is Here 1935 when his contract was up for renewal. The Cricklewood Bentley Is Here factory was closed and sold, and production moved to the Bentley Is Here Rolls-Royce works in Derby When a new Bentley car appeared Bentley Is Here in 1933, the 31/2-litre, it was a sporting variant of Bentley Is Here the Rolls-Royce 20/25and although disappointing some traditional customers, it was Bentley Is Here well-received by many others. Even Bentley himself was reported as Bentley Is Here saying, "Taking all things into consideration, I would rather own Bentley Is Here this Bentley than any other car produced under that name."[1 Bentley Is Here After World War II, production of Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars Bentley Is Here was moved to an ex-wartime engine factory in Crewe, Cheshire. Bentley Is Here Bentleys increasingly became Rolls-Royces without the distinctive grilles and with Bentley Is Here a lower price tag, and by the 1970s and early Bentley Is Here 1980s, sales had fallen badly, with at one time less Bentley Is Here than 5% of production carrying the Bentley badge.[1 The parent Bentley Is Here company failed in 1970 following problems with aero engine development, Bentley Is Here and the car division was floated off to become Rolls-Royce Bentley Is Here Motors Ltd. and remained independent until bought by Vickers in Bentley Is Here August 1980 In the 1980s, Bentley became a separate, high-performance Bentley Is Here car line once again, typified by the 1980 Mulsanne. The Bentley Is Here new sporting image created a new interest in the name Bentley Is Here and sales as a proportion of output started to rise. Bentley Is Here In 1986, the Rolls-Royce:Bentley ratio was 60:40, and in 1991, Bentley Is Here it was 50:50.[1 The Bentley factory in Crewe, Cheshire, is Bentley Is Here still known in the town by the name "Royce's."

BMW had recently started supplying Bentley Is Here components for the new range of Rolls and Bentley cars, Bentley Is Here notably V8 engines for the Bentley Arnage and V12 engines Bentley Is Here for the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph. VW believed that the Rolls-Royce Bentley Is Here name was included in the purchase, when in fact it Bentley Is Here belonged to Rolls-Royce plc, the aero-engine company, and was used Bentley Is Here by the automobile division under licence. It also emerged that Bentley Is Here BMW's aeronautical division had a joint venture agreement with Rolls-Royce Bentley Is Here plc and that the German company was able to terminate Bentley Is Here its supply deal with Rolls-Royce with 12 months' notice, which Bentley Is Here would not be enough time for VW to re-engineer the Bentley Is Here cars BMW and Volkswagen entered into negotiations, and an agreement Bentley Is Here was reached whereby Volkswagen would manufacture both Bentley and Rolls-Royce Bentley Is Here cars until the end of 2002, licensing the name from Bentley Is Here Rolls-Royce plc; on 1 January 2003, the right to build Bentley Is Here Rolls-Royce cars would transfer to BMW. BMW licensed the brand Bentley Is Here from Rolls-Royce plc and paid ?40 million to VW, but Bentley Is Here the deal did not include any manufacturing facilities, staff, or Bentley Is Here intellectual property on present or future models. BMW also agreed Bentley Is Here to continue its supply agreements, which gave VW the time Bentley Is Here it needed to reduce its reliance on BMW as a Bentley Is Here supplier. Bentley reintroduced the venerable Rolls-Royce V8 engine into the Bentley Is Here Arnage, initially as an additional model, and all BMW engine Bentley Is Here supply ended in 2003 with the end of Silver Seraph Bentley Is Here production [edit] Modern Bentley The current Bentley lineup (from left): Bentley Is Here Flying Spur, Continental GT, and Arnage Queen Elizabeth II's Bentley Bentley Is Here State Limousine In 2002, Bentley presented Queen Elizabeth II with Bentley Is Here an official State Limousine to celebrate the Golden Jubilee. In Bentley Is Here 2003, Bentley's 2-door convertible, the Bentley Azure, ceased production, and Bentley Is Here the company introduced the Bentley Continental GT, a large luxury Bentley Is Here coupe. The car is powered by a W-12 engine built Bentley Is Here in Crewe Demand had been so great that the factory Bentley Is Here at Crewe was unable to meet orders despite an installed Bentley Is Here capacity of approximately 9500 vehicles per year; there was a Bentley Is Here waiting list of over a year for new cars to Bentley Is Here be delivered. Consequently, part of the production of the new Bentley Is Here Flying Spur, a four-door version of the Continental GT, was Bentley Is Here assigned to the Transparent Factory, where the VW Phaeton luxury Bentley Is Here car is also assembled. This arrangement ceased at the end Bentley Is Here of 2006 after around 1000 cars, now highly sought after. Bentley Is Here All car production reverted to the Crewe plant In April Bentley Is Here 2005, Bentley confirmed plans to produce a 4-seat convertible modelthe Bentley Is Here Azure, derived from the Arnage Drophead Coupe prototypeat Crewe beginning Bentley Is Here in 2006. By the autumn of 2005, the convertible version Bentley Is Here of the successful Continental GT, the Continental GTC, was also Bentley Is Here presented. These two models were successfully launched in late 2006 Bentley Is Here A limited run of a Zagato modified GT was also Bentley Is Here announced in March 2008, dubbed "GTZ. A new Bentley version Bentley Is Here of the Bentley Continental was introduced at the 2009 Geneva Bentley Is Here Auto Show: The Continental Supersports. This new Bentley is a Bentley Is Here supercar combining extreme power with pioneering FlexFuel technology (environmentally friendly). Bentley Is Here A muscular two-seater with distinctive exterior and interior styling that Bentley Is Here is unmistakably Bentley in its design, craftsmanship and performance. The Bentley Is Here engine derived from Bentleys current W12 power unit was re-engineered, Bentley Is Here re-tuned and re-mapped to achieve phenomenal supercar potency. 0-60mph in Bentley Is Here 3.7 seconds (0-100km/h 3.9 seconds). 621bhp (463kW/630PS). 800Nm (590 Ib Bentley Is Here ft) @ 2000 to 4500rpm.
