Named after W.O. Bentley. (England)

The first Bentley appeared at the 1919 Motor Show but did not reach the public until 1921.
Although today the Bentley represents to most of us the personification of the Vintage sports car,
many were fitted with stately and elegant saloon bodywork.
However, the open four-seater cars are forever associated with the Le Mans 24 hour race.
The Cricklewood company chalked up no less than five wins in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930.
In 1931 they were bought by Rolls-Royce.
