The famous
Bentley make, erected by Mr. W.O. Bentley, existed as a independent firm
for only twelve years (1919-1931) before the proud firm was taken over
by the Rolls Royce motor company.
Those twelve exhilarating Bentley years were filled with racing
successes and many victories. The Bentley name as manufacturer of large,
heavy, powerful and rugged sports cars was imprinted in the human mind
since the "roaring" twenties of the twentieth century.
Bentley motorcars won the famous 24 hours of Le Mans race in the years
1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930. The years they did not win the race
they finished second or third.
Not only successes at Le Mans were counted but also many victories in
the Brooklands 500 mile race.
