    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.
