Like every car brand, Bentley has its own story to tell: in this case one of success, landmark models and big changes. Until 1930, the name Bentley was synonymous with sensational success in motor racing.But a year later, the brand was broke and was swallowed up by rival Rolls Royce. The first common product was the Bentley 3.5 liter. It went into production in the fall of 1933 as a sporty spinoff of the Rolls Royce 20/25. Sleek and simple interiors, a low center of gravity and an elastic inline six-cylinder engine make this car a dream to drive.
