Bentley Automobile Fun Facts
Bentley was founded in Cricklewood in 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley, or W.O as he was known.
The very first Bentley ever made was the EXP I, it was completed in London in 1919. The very first Bentley to roll of the production line was the Mark IV.
As true today as it was then “To build a good car, a fast car, the best in its class”.
Rolls-Royce bought the company for £125,275 ($154,370.75) in 1931. From then on production moved to Derby until 1940, where the famous Derby Bentleys were made.
In 1998 Bentley was acquired by the Volkswagen Group, immediately investing over £1 billion ($1,232,355,000.00) to upgrade the factory.
The company’s first-ever SUV was launched in 2015, the luxurious, go-anywhere Bentayga.
New Bentleys average around $300,000, with options accounting for between a quarter and a third of that amount. That average price is for the “run-of-the-mill” Bentleys you can find at a dealership.
