Bentley gravitated through an aviation engineering stint during that war and at its end, became determined to form an auto manufacturing company of his own. Bentley Motors, Ltd. was formed in 1919 with very little capital on hand, a plight that was to plague the company for the next decade.
戰爭時期賓特利通過在航空工程服役的影響,在戰爭結束后,就下定決心,形成自己的汽車制造公司. 賓特利汽車有限公司成立于1919年,當時資本很少,公司在接下來的10年都將處于一個困境。
In the decade before World War II, the Bentley line became, in effect, the hot-rod Rolls-Royce. The Bentley chassis of that era started off life in the late '20s as a smaller Rolls that was originally conceived as a car for the up-and-coming executive. Aborting this concept as The Depression deepened, the company installed a slightly hopped-up 3.5-liter R-R engine and had more "sporting" body work installed. In this guise, it was quite successful and it quickly acquired the quasi-official title of "The Silent Sports Car."
二戰前的二十年,是賓特利路線轉換了,實際上就是熱棒的勞斯萊斯. 在后來的20年作為一個小型車軋，賓特利的底盤在最初的構思是作為汽車新興的執行.但是受到經濟蕭條的深化這一理念夭折了，為此公司安裝了一個細小的3.5公升的RR引擎而且增加了許多的運動元素。這一修改很成功,而且很快取得了半官方名稱叫"沉默的跑車"
The turbulent financial times of the '60s culminated with the company becoming part of the Vickers conglomerate which in turn recently sold the Rolls-Royce name to BMW and the Bentley name, factory and assets to Volkswagen. The resulting conflict between the two German giants has lead not only to massive law suits but corporate animosity between the two.
發生在六十年代的金融動蕩時期，賓利公司從屬于Vickers公司，該公司近日又將勞斯萊斯出售給了寶馬汽車公司。賓特利品牌、工廠以及資產都歸大眾公司所有.沖突造成了德國兩個汽車巨人不但訴訟到法庭,而且還使兩公司之間產生了敵意
