About Bentley: Bentley Motors was founded by W.O. Bentley in 1919 when the first Bentley engine burst into life at New Street Mews, London. From these modest beginnings, W.O’s company went from strength to strength through the 1920s, with an evolving series of acclaimed motor cars and a parade of racing triumphs to prove their outstanding performance. These laurels were capped with five outright victories at Le Mans between 1924 - 1930 and a sixth in 2003.
Bentley History: In November of 1931 Rolls-Royce outfoxed Napier to take control of Bentley motors. W.O. Bentley remained on for a short time. In 1935 the first of the Derby Bentleys were produced by Rolls-Royce. These cars were based on a modified version of the six cylinder motor used in the smaller Rolls-Royce, the 20/25. Quick, light and quiet, the Derby Benltey cars became known as "Silent Sports Cars."
In 1935, W.O. Bentley decided not to stay with the firm that bore his name. W.O. moved to Lagonda, where he became Chief Designer. In February of 1939, a Greek shipping magnate ordered a 4.25L car with an advanced aerodynamic body style. Named for its owner, the Embiricos Bentley set the stage for a new generation of Bentley cars.
The Bentley marque led the way when car production began at Crewe after World War Two. The 4.25-litre Mk VI, which later evolved into the R-Type, appeared in May 1946. Designed by Ivan Evernden, it was generally conservative, though such touches as integral headlamps were seen by some as a radical departure. The straight-six engine dated back to 1938.
