prelude:
Bentley was founded as Bentley motors limited in 1919 by W.O.Bentley in London and later Bentley was secretly acquired by Rolls Royce in 1931.After a wall street crash struggled financially as demand went down for their expensive cars and they were no longer able to pay their bills so there was bidding war to see who would buy the company.
Rolls Royce used a front company to buy the Bentley motors and Bentley himself didn't known the true identity of the buyer until the sale was complete.
Production was halted for two years before resuming Rolls Royce works in Derby.
All Bentley's produced from 1931 to 2004 used Rolls Royce chassis and adapted their engines.They remained as part of their company until Volkswagen beat out BMW with a bit of around four hundred and fifty million dollars in 1997.

Logo:
The wing logo changes depending upon the car.The wing with B hooded ornament was originally designed to represent the speed and power.
