Sell Your Classic Bentley For Cash Today!

Bentley’s are a car that has become well known as a status symbol among the elite. In 1919, W.O. Bentley, Frank Burgess, and Harry Varley founded Bentley Motors Limited with the goal of creating high-quality sports cars. 

The first vehicle Bentley produced was the 3L with the name referring to the car’s engine volume at 3 liters. 

Helping to distinguish the brand via motorsport success, Bentley won the sought after Tourist Trophy in 1922 in addition to a win at Le Mans. 

Beginning as a company that built expensive cars for people with expensive taste, Bentley hit a wall with finances during the Great Depression, which led to a sale to the Rolls-Royce company. Bentley Motors designed the Bentley 8 liter as its last vehicle before declaring bankruptcy. 

Bentley After Sale: A New Image 

Rolls-Royce purchasing Bentley led to Bentley changing many of its business practices. Forced to leave behind its rich history of sports racing, new Bentleys took on a style that mirrored Rolls-Royce with slightly lower prices and a more sporty look. 

Three labels of Bentley classification were additionally administered for different types of Bentleys: 

• Red Label: Sophisticated and comfy 
• Green Label: Race
• Black Label: Especially powerful 

Since 1970, all Bentleys have a capacity of 6.75 liters. 

1998 led to more change for Bentley as the company became a division of Volkswagen. The move led to Bentley being able to return to the racetrack and honor its early history.
