Bentley Motors was founded in 1919 by W.O. Bentley in Cricklewood, North London. The brand quickly became renowned for its luxury vehicles and high-performance models, gaining fame for winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 1920s. After enduring financial struggles, Bentley was acquired by Rolls-Royce in 1931, and later by Vickers in 1980. In 1998, Bentley and Rolls-Royce were separated, with Bentley joining the Volkswagen Group, where it continues to thrive. Today, Bentley remains an emblem of British luxury, engineering prowess, and motorsport heritage.
