Bentley Motors Limited was founded on 18 January 1919 by Walter
Owen Bentley who had been previously known for his range of rotary

and made production cars that won the 24 hours Le Mans in 1924 with
following models repeating that success in June 1927. 1928. br/>1929 and 1930. Woolf Barnato acquired his first Bentley in 1925. br/>just 12 months before he also acquired the business itself. With
this car he won numerous Brooklands races and was a member of a
social set of wealthy British motorists known as the 'Bentley
Boys'. After being purchased by Rolls-Royce in 1931. production was
moved from London to Derby and later to Crewe. Following on from
the hugely successful series of T-series models. the next
generation of cars also proved extremely capable. The Bentley Eight
