General description :
The new generation was separated in Rolls Royce with the “Silver Spirit” and Bentley with the “Mulsanne”. Later Bentley sized the same car a little bid down and presented as the model “Eight”. So the “Eight” was a little simple equipped “Mulsanne”. That was Bentley’s way to look out for new and maybe younger customers. With success – 1,734 Bentley Eight were built.Our Bentley Eight is an original german delivery. All books and service documents are available.

Before becoming a mere subsidiary to Rolls-Royce, Bentley was an independent Automaker famous for the "fastest lorries in the world" e.i Bentley 4½ Litre.
Good ol' Bentley boys (A group of wealthy British motorists, mainly Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry "Tim" Birkin, steeplechaser George Duller, aviator Glen Kidston, S.C.H. "Sammy" Davis, and Dr Dudley Benjafield ) -in their trusty Bentley cars- took four consecutive victories at 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930
In 1931 Bentley was taken over British Central Equitable Trust that later proved to be a front for Rolls-Royce Limited. Unhappy with his role at Rolls-Royce, W.O. Bentley left the company when his contract expired in 1935 duly joining Lagonda. This was beginning of which ultimately led Bentley cars to become more or less badge-engineered Rolls-Royce.
