Bentley

Bentley has evolved from a sporting luxury marque with strong competition roots into a producer of powerful grand tourers, saloons and luxury SUVs. British registrations include traditional models such as the Eight, Turbo and Brooklands as well as the Continental, Flying Spur, Bentayga and modern interpretations of the Mulsanne name. Ownership has generally centred on long distance comfort, performance and craftsmanship rather than simple transport.
