Description
Bentley's rich history spans over 100 years, from its humble beginnings as a railway engineer to its current status as a renowned luxury car brand. This lavishly illustrated book celebrates the marque's most iconic models, including the 41/2-Litre 'Blower' and the R-type Continental, alongside its modern classics like the Continental GT and Mulsanne. The story of Bentley is one of innovation and perseverance, from W.O. Bentley's early experiments with French DFP cars to the company's victories in the Le Mans 24-hour race. The book also explores the brand's revival in the 1980s and its recent resurgence under Volkswagen ownership, bringing the story up to date with the latest models and technological advancements. With over 200 pictures, including many from the Bentley Drivers Club archives, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of luxury cars.
