As a teenage car "nut" in the 1950s I had read about Vintage Bentleys and had put them at the top of my list of the 10 most desirable cars that I hoped to one day own. My first actual exposure to them came in 1975 on a vacation to England. The sight and burbling exhaust sounds of Vintage Bentleys racing at Silverstone confirmed my desire to own one. The proud moment occurred in 1981 with the purchase of a 1925 3 Litre Speed Model (Chassis No. 869).

I don't know everything about Vintage Bentleys. I would like to, but the next best thing is to know everyone who does know something about Vintage Bentleys. This website is an attempt to connect everyone interested in Vintage Bentleys so we can share information and help each other.

This website is dedicated to Vintage Bentley owners and enthusiasts around the world — not a club, nor is it affiliated with any club, but an organization devoted to the collection of information on Vintage Bentleys. Our goal is to provide knowledge and help in preserving and enjoying the cars built by W. O. Bentley from 1919 through 1931. Our organization has no membership requirements, dues or activities. We offer assistance and support to all Vintage Bentley owners and enthusiasts whether or not they are members of any club. We do, however, recommend that all Vintage Bentley owners take advantage of the opportunities clubs afford for camaraderie, events, parts exchange and support.

Our objective is to know our cars so thoroughly that, when we participate in club events (i.e. vintage racing, concours, etc.), they will look and run perfectly. This is accomplished by discussing our cars with individuals who are knowledgeable. We are "hands-on" enthusiasts. VintageBentley.org will be operated at our own discretion and we reserve the right to determine what will appear on this web site.

This is a brand new web site, officially launched February 12, 2007, and we are actively seeking your input. Get in on the ground floor of the most comprehensive Vintage Bentley web site ever built.
