Produced in conjunction with the Bentley Drivers Club and the W.O. Bentley Memorial Foundation,100 Years of Bentley is a lavish celebration of one of the most recognised and revered car brands in history, from its earliest models right up to the modern day cars.
A six-times winner in the gruelling Le Mans 24-hour race, Bentley is also the brand behind iconic cars such as the 41/2-Litre ‘Blower’, the R-type Continental, and modern classics such as the Continental GT and Mulsanne.
Featuring more than 200 pictures, many from the club’s archives and some never seen in print before, this beautiful book details the whole history of Bentley. From W.O. Bentley’s early days as a railway engineer along with his first attempts at modifying French DFP cars, to the company’s earlyracing exploits, including its victories in the early Le Mans races.
Covering the Bentley brand’s revival in the 1980s and renewed impetus when it was acquired by the Volkswagen group, the story is brought up to date with the awesome new Bentleys built for the 21st century and the new era of electrification just around the corner.

First book damaged, second book damaged still waiting for a refund

Nice quality, went down well as a gift
by Ally Campbell
Easy to enjoy, this book gives a fascinating insight into the genesis and journey of a remarkable brand. It covers each and every highlight (of which there are many) and low point (surprisingly few) in the first 100 years of Bentley Motors production.

The book does not go into depth about the history of Bentley, or does it detail prototype cars built
by Sara Edwards
Little disappointed with the condition of the book. Damaged at the corner. I suppose I was warned about this in other reviews but was hoping it would be in perfect condition. Shame.
