There are many unmistakable characteristics that define a Bentley – handcrafted luxury, distinctive design, breathtaking power and performance, a refined and exhilarating driving experience. Yet it is the combination of these characteristics that makes their brand so unique.

A Bentley is unmistakable – all it takes is a glance at the twin headlights, matrix grille or the high waistline to know one. The paradox of the car is that although it is instantly recognisable, it takes time and effort to hand-build each one. That’s the assured Bentley hallmark.

The original Bentley Motors, Limited, existed for only twelve years, from 1919 until 1931. A short life, but a fast-paced whirl of racing success and financial problems. As in so many other automotive com panies, two brothers were involved - W. O. and H. M. Bentley. W. O. was the engineering genius, racing driver, and irascible head of the firm. His brother quietly handled the business management.

The Bentley brothers got started in 1912 with a sales concession for three cars: Buchet, La Licorne, and the D. F. P. which stood for Doriot, Flandrin and Parant. The D.F.P. was a racing machine for which W. O. designed new aluminum alloy pistons. His success with the D.F.P. led to the adoption of the pistons by Rolls-Royce and Sunbeam, and to the design of an aircraft engine.
