Bentley is the British luxury car marque and maker of the same name, founded by W. O. Bentley on 18 January 1919 in Cricklewood, North London, and now based in Crewe, England. The first cars grew out of a new three-litre engine, and the marque built its reputation on durable sports and racing cars that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930, and again in 2003. Ownership passed through several hands: Rolls-Royce bought the receivership-bound company in 1931, the car business later went with Rolls-Royce Motors to Vickers, and in 1998 the Volkswagen Group acquired Bentley with its name and logos. The range runs from the historic 4½ Litre and Speed Six to the Continental GT, Flying Spur and Bentayga, and for the Transport Atlas the marque is the make under which Bentley cars and the engines that carry its name are grouped.
