Bentley Motors Limited, shortly just Bentley, is a British luxury car manufactorer. It was founded on the 18th of January 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley. Currently its headquarters are located in the founding place, Crewe in England, Great Britain. Currently the company employs 4000 employees, and has a revenue of $2.1 Billion
Since 1998 Bentley, along with Rolls Royce, have been bought by The Volkswagen group from Vickers, for 430 million pounds.
Since then Rolls Royce has been sold off to BMW who was Volkswagens greatest competitor in purchasing Bentley and Rolls Royce. BMW wanted Bentley and Rolls Royce so much because it would be much cheaper, as the BMW engines, which are used by them, could still be installed directly in the factory like they were there before when it was still owned by Vicker. In 2003 BMW got the permission to build Rolls Royce cars,and use the original name, paying an impressive 40 million $ to Volkswagen.
Before and during WW1 Bentley was mostly a manufactorer of aeroplane engines, even until 1931. Before 1919 Bentley and his brother used to be one company that made french cars. One day they decided that they both want to become independant, and she will create the northdern list. Bentley always had severe financial problems and in 1925 they borrowed some money from the millionaire, Wolf Barnaato, who later became CEO.
I admire Bentley cars because of their combination of Speed and performance, with luxury. I would not mind to own a Bently, because as it is very good car, even though its appearence could still be worked on. The interior and the customer service of the boat is good though. I have heard a fairly big amount of complaints about how the car is driven. The tester at top gear channel said that its a good brand bzt nothing extra ordinary. I like this car brand even though its British, but what it can do is put softening pagb ß., maybe that will help.
