development history

Bentley is one of the world's manufacturers of high-quality cars. Mr. Walter Owen Bentley, who has always been known as "W.O.", was an apprentice of Great Northern Railways. Later, during World War I, he was responsible for designing engines for camel airplanes and sniper fighters.

the love of speed and performance, coupled with the ability to sell cars by winning races, led W.O. to establish Bentley Motor Company in 1919. His goal is very clear.

It comes from the incredibly simple idea: "To build a fast car, a good car, and the most outstanding car in its class". Up to now, Bentley is still improving its unparalleled sense of pleasure and pure comfort.

As the founder of Bentley brand, Walter Owen Bentley (1888-1971) was born in a middle-class family, the youngest of nine children in the family. He had a happy childhood and was interested in machinery.

At the auto show in 1919, the Bentley 3. car named after him was launched, and since then, Bentley has embarked on the course of professional design of high-end sports cars and racing cars. In the next ten years, it was the most glorious period for Walter Owen Bentley. He won almost every famous 24 Hours of Le Mans.

during the first world war, he was employed by the aviation technical Committee of the royal navy to improve the Clerget engine in France.

Bentley Motor Co., Ltd. was established in August p>1919, with a nominal share capital of 2, pounds. In fact, the cash in the bank is only over 18, pounds. After 21 months, the model was successfully developed and sold in September 1921. At that time, it was one of the most expensive cars in the British automobile market.

In p>1931, Walter Owen Bentley officially joined Rolls-Royce Motor Company. In 1946, the automobile production line moved to Crewe, England. At this time, Rolls-Royce and Bentley had been divided into two independent brands.

In this year, the Bentley Mark V sedan designed by designer Ivan Evanden was launched, which was a great success in the market. In 1952 alone, its sales reached 5,2, making it the best-selling car in Bentley history.

It is not difficult to see that Bentley's advantages in speed and sense of movement at this time have deviated from its creator's original intention of pursuing speed and sports pleasure, and turned into another luxurious decoration of luxury cars. Bentley's production line was also moved to Crewe, England, together with Rolls Royce in 1946, until today.
