Here is the history of Bentley, one of Britain's most distinguished marques, from its creation in 1919 to the present renaissance under VW ownership. Over the years the company and its products have changed dramatically. First came the 'vintage' racing Bentleys, then from 1933 there were Bentleys built to the highest standard by Rolls-Royce. In the past 20 years turbocharged Bentley saloons, coupés and convertibles have been among the fastest and most desirable cars in the world.
