Bentley at the Geneva Show, an overview.

Hemingway Luxury Car Hire have always had a soft spot for the Bentley range and have many pristine examples of one of the most iconic cars. They remain popular with our clients and we plan to make more available due to the immense demand we have throughout Europe.

To build a fast car, a good car, the best in its class.” (W.O. Bentley, Founder) 

Bentley Motors was founded by W.O. Bentley. The first car to bear his name pulled out of New Street Mews, London in 1919.

From modest beginnings, the company moved from strength to strength – in a relentless pursuit of both luxury and performance. Were it not for the brand’s five victories at Le Mans in the 1920s, plus a sixth in 2003, this combination could be seen as a contradiction in terms. In which case, it could be said that Bentley continues to create the most acclaimed contradictions on the road today.

Almost a century later, W.O.’s vision continues to guide our beliefs, actions and ambitions. Located in Crewe, England and owned by Volkswagen AG since 1998, Bentley Motors remains the definitive British luxury car company, crafting the world’s most desirable high performance grand tourers.
