Nou, lees dit eens......................

Let's get a few facts straight about Bentley:

The car is designed and built by Britain. In fact Peter Ellery is the Chief Designer. A fellow Brit. The cars are made in Norfolk by Racing Technology Norfolk (RTN based in Hingham, Norfolk, England) and Apex Motorsport (based in Buckingham, England). The engine is german but is not under Dr Ulrichs orders but that of the Chief of Engine Design (Motorsport) called Baretski (sp??) who is german. Take the engine away and all components are not designed and made in Germany. The wheels are Italian. The brakes are AP brakes from England. The gearbox is an Xtrac box made in Reading, England. The fuel cell is ATL made and they are from Milton Keynes in England.

Basically, the car is as English as a car can get.

Did you know that the Audi is nothing more than a deisgn house and that everything except the engine is made elsewhere? The tub is Italian!
