Founded in 1919 by W.O. Bentley in England, Bentley established its reputation by combining luxury, craftsmanship, and formidable performance, with motorsport playing a defining role in the marque’s early history. The legendary “Bentley Boys” helped secure five victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 1924 and 1930, cementing Bentley’s status as one of Britain’s great performance marques. From pre-war icons such as the 4½ Litre and Speed Six to later grand tourers including the Continental R and modern Continental GT, Bentley has continued to blend effortless power with handcrafted refinement. Significant vintage, sporting, and limited-production Bentleys remain highly desirable among collectors for their racing heritage, engineering, rarity, and unmistakable British presence.
