The TRAGIC Story of Bentley

Bentley is among the most luxurious and best-performance cars in the world, hand-crafted by some of the finest materials available for the ultra-rich. But underneath all that beauty lays a tragic history behind. The man who founded Bentley rose his company to top glory during the 1920s, building some of the fastest, durable and most lucrative cars of his time, and even winning five Le Mans races in the company’s first 11 years of existence. In its peak, he and the Bentley Boys would often break international headlines, legendary for being extraordinary racers, playboys and adventurers. But a series of events would cause the company to come crashing down, and Bentley’s founder himself, would instead be discarded and forced to work for his greatest arch rivalry at the time… Rolls Royce. This is the story of a man who created one of the most fascinating car companies in the world… only to lose it all. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/getu-chandler/support
