W.W. Bentley founded Bentley Motors in 1919 and to date has grown to a team of more than 4,000 dedicated employees.
The brand's extraordinary cars have always been designed by exceptional people who use only the best materials and who in turn have been inspired by people with vision and passion. From the passionate Bentley Boys and ~Girls who raced the cars in the 1920s and W.W. Bentley to achieve ever greater technical feats down to the current visionary owners, helping to shape the world around Bentley drivers.
