The cars that carry the Bentley wings dre rightly considered to be of very special interest. Much has been published about them and much of it is of a high standard. Nevertheless, almost as much has been left unsaid if only because it has been forgotten, perhaps even unknown. Accepted writings can, in light of new material, be proved incorrect.

Bentley— Cricklewood to Crewe starts afresh, with a new end in mind. It tells a new 'Bentley' story looking through previously unavailable, unknown and unfound archives. Through the
co-operation of the highest management of Rolls-Royce Motors this original history can now be told without fear of offence or damage to any parties concerned. In fact, its content may even clear the air

The book is divided into four parts —the first, discusses the Men involved. Who did what, why, how and with whom? Personal relations and their politics are freely discussed, and the truth is out. The second part surveys the financing, the Money. Company records and boardroom
minutes (never before released) throw new light on profits and the Rolls-Royce takeover The Motor Racing, the glorious days of the Bentley Boys, is illustrated with rare Company material. Finally, there are the Motor Cars, again illustrated through Company brochures, which are analysed in light of new contemporary comment. It ends with a new beginning — the first true Bentley model for over twenty years with its own, separate identity.

This is, truly, history rewritten. After fantastic research, valid yet entertaining progress has been made to create a fuller, more complete picture of one of the world's greatest names in the history of the motor car
