Bentley welcomes classic car owners to Crewe headquarters

Owners of classic Bentley cars have been invited down to the manufacturer's Crewe headquarters for a special event marking the 75th anniversary of the Bentley Drivers Club (BDC).

More than 100 members of the club brought their fifty Bentley motors down to the facility as part of BDC's Britain by Bentley tour, which sees a number of models from various eras travelling the UK's roads.

Drivers from across the world are taking part in the celebration, with UK residents such as Jenny Ford and her Blower Bentley joined by Australians Syd and Nikki Reinhardt with their 1927 6.5-litre Mulsanne.

Those travelling to Crewe for this part of the event were able to enjoy a gala dinner with Bentley Motors executive members, as well as a tour of the company's Pyms Lane factory.

Richard Charlesworth, Bentley's director of royal and VIP relations, said: "Bentley and its drivers have always enjoyed a unique friendship which very few other motoring marques have been able to emulate."

The esteemed brand remains a well-regarded name in the motoring world, with the newest Mulsanne recently winning a readers' choice award voted for by buyers of Centurion Magazine.
