Etienne Psaila
From the roaring twenties to the electric future, Bentley Boys to Bentley’s Revival tells the definitive story of Britain’s most iconic luxury performance marque. In this richly detailed, fact-based history, author Etienne Psaila charts Bentley’s dramatic rise, near-collapse, and extraordinary resurgence-from W.O. Bentley’s early engineering brilliance to the raucous exploits of the Bentley Boys, through the Rolls-Royce years, corporate takeovers, and the marque’s 21st-century renaissance under Volkswagen Group. With chapters grounded in archival research and cultural context, this book explores everything from Le Mans victories to royal patronage, legendary models like the Blower and Continental GT, and Bentley’s electrified ambitions for the next century. A compelling narrative of craftsmanship, endurance, and British prestige, this is a must-read for automotive enthusiasts, design historians, and lovers of motoring lore.
