  • Official Name: Bentley Motors Ltd. Formerly Owned By: Rolls-Royce
    Official name: Bentley Motors Ltd. Formerly owned by: Rolls-Royce Motors Ltd. Owned by: Volkswagen Audi Group. Current situation: Originally an impeccably- British luxury marque, Bentley is now simply one of Volkswagen’s luxury brands. Bentleys are re-bodied Volkswagens with Bentley badges glued on. Rich and ignorant customers have ensured brisk sales for the new models. However, economic stormclouds threaten luxury car sales, and Bentley is no exception. Chances of survival: Okay. If things get tough for Volkswagen, it is likely that Bentley will quietly cease Bentley production and wait for better times • A brief history of Bentley ALTER OWEN WBENTLEY, known to all as ‘W.O.’, was a pioneer of British luxury performance mo- toring. Bentley’s first job was at the Great Northern Rail- way Locomotive Works in Doncaster, northern England. However, bikes & motorbikes were Bentley’s passion. Off duty, Bentley and his brother raced at the Isle of Man TT event and at the Brook- lands race track, near London. Bentley’s passion then shifted to cars. In 1912 Bentley’s family helped W.O. buy a small com- pany importing French DFP sports models. 2 All content © dogandlemon.com 2016 During a visit to the DFP factory in 1913, W.O. noticed a lightweight aluminium paper- weight – and had the inspired idea of using alu- minium instead of cast iron to make engine pis- tons. The first such Bentley pistons went into service in aeroplane engines during World War I. Be- cause Bentley’s pistons were lighter, the engines they were fitted to used less fuel and put out more power.

  • Thoughts from the Showroom
    JanuarySpring 2018 2017 NEWS Thoughts from the showroom... Illustrated here are some of the Welcome to Frank Dale & Stepsons cars we have sold since our last Spring newsletter newsletter The first three months of the year have been extremely busy so I thought it was time to take stock, take a breath and bring you up to date with everything that has been happening at Frank Dale & 1935 Bentley 3 ½ Litre Stepsons during this time. Open Tourer by Corsica 1936 Bentley 4 ¼ Litre Saloon by Hooper Emma and I have travelled extensively since the start of the year, visiting four continents and racking up a few thousand air miles between us. We may have been one of British Airways best customers so far in 2018 and we could probably recite the BA safety video with relative ease at the moment. As much as I enjoy travelling it’s great to be home again with my feet planted firmly back in the UK for the next few months. This coincides with the end of British winter time as well (fingers crossed). I’m sure, like us, if you live in Northern Europe you have seen enough snow, 1947 Bentley Mk VI Countryman ice and salty roads over the past few months to last a lifetime. I for by Harold Radford one, can’t wait to get back behind the wheel of some beautiful classic cars again. Summer can’t come soon enough. The sales department has seen a steady and solid start to 2018, with a number of deals agreed during the first three months of the year.

  • Rear Axles….What Fails and Why (PART 1)
    Rear Axles….What Fails and Why (PART 1) R-R Silver Dawn, Silver Wraith. BENTLEY MKVI, R type. N.W.Geeson ver 1. 2006 The Problems The writer declares quite openly an interest in Bentley and R-R post war axles up to R-R Shadow I, as it is a main line of business. It is not the purpose of this article to describe the procedures for overhauling R-R rear axles but to highlight some of the simpler problems, which cause these axles to fail. In addition a few axle related points of interest are discussed at the end. These axles are fairly robust and their reputation over the years has caused both owners and specialists alike to be reluctant to admit that most are in need of a major overhaul. It has become apparent in recent years that they are deluding themselves. The now common spate of rear wheel bearing and axle failures is ongoing and can be catastrophic both in cost terms and accident risk. Perhaps those who still believe they are operating a sound R-R rear axle ought to peruse the images in this article most closely. Unless otherwise stated it can generally be presumed that references to Bentley MKVI axles also encompass Bentley R type, R type Continental, R-R Silver Dawn and R-R SWB Silver Wraith axles. Bentley SI includes R-R Silver Cloud I and Bentley SI Continental, but the user must be aware that this axle was extensively modified during service. In a similar fashion references to Bentley S2 axles include Bentley S3, R-R Silver Cloud II & III.

  • Property from the Estate of Alfred H. Heineken
    For Immediate Release 13 January 2003 Contact: Jill Potterton (London) 020.7752.3121 ([email protected]) Capucine Milliot (Paris) 00.331.4076.8408 ([email protected]) PROPERTY FROM THE ESTATE OF ALFRED H. HEINEKEN Saturday 8 February 2003 at 7.30pm “Had I not been a beer brewer I would have become an advertising man” – Alfred H. Heineken A selection of Bentley motor cars Paris – Christie’s is delighted to announce the sale of 14 motor cars from the Estate of the late Alfred H. Heineken in Paris on 8 February. The collection will be offered at Christie’s second sale of Exceptional Collectors Cars at Rétromobile, one of Europe’s most prestigious events in the classic car calendar. Alfred H. Heineken (1923-2002) joined the famous family brewing business, which his grandfather had acquired in 1864, at the age of 18, in 1942. From 1946 to 1948 he worked in the sales department of Heineken’s American importer and it was during this period that his life changed completely; he became passionately interested in the marketing of the Heineken global brand and also met his American wife. By the time he retired as Chairman of the Executive Board [1989], Heineken had become the most international brewery group in the world. Alfred Heineken received a host of accolades during his lifetime; in 1999 he was chosen as Advertiser of the Century in the Netherlands, and the Heineken brand was awarded Brand of the Century. A devoted family man, Alfred H. Heineken was also very active in social and cultural affairs and had an intense love of music, architecture, film, photography and the visual arts.
