Inside Bentley: A Great British Motor Car | History Documentary | Reel Truth History

Subscribe here: / @banijayhistory to be the first to watch more full length documentaries.
Nestled deep within the Cheshire countryside in the old manufacturing town of Crewe, there is a place where design and engineering collide, and where tradition and the modern harmoniously clash to create absolute luxury - this is Bentley Motors.
This quintessentially British institution will open its doors to the cameras to see the design and production of a new supercar. In this single documentary our presenter will delve into a world of contrasts, witnessing cutting edge design meeting hand built craftsmanship, while exploring how a British northern town supplies the worlds most luxury cars.
Through access to the conception of a new diesel Bentayga the first time Bentley have ever produced a diesel car - the documentary will unlock the secrets of a factory steeped in British heritage and shine a light on design and production processes where only excellence will suffice.
Our presenter will experience the design process first hand, meeting the separate competing design teams while understanding the thought processes behind creating a new winning model. They'll see mind blowing life size clay moulds of the prototype builds and gain an appreciation of how design and engineering work in harmony to produce both a technically brilliant and beautiful car.
Welcome to Reel Truth History, the home of gripping and powerful documentaries. Here you can watch both full length documentaries and series that explore some of the most comprehensive pieces of world history.

A few years ago I saw a group of 8 vintage Bentleys on the road. They looked magnificent and the engine sounds were unforgettable. I would never forget that sight and that sound. I have also been in the latest Bentleys, and while the interior is exquisite, from the outside, they all look bland, generic and clinical. The old cars had presence, the new cars don't.

Wonderful video, lovely very skilled staff. Fantastic car, I even love cleaning mine. Brilliant. John

[@Da51lva]

One day I will have one myself

[@geoffdundee]

the thing that made this docu more special for me was seeing the staff and pride in their jobs........also Charlie with his new Bentayga

[@turbine6338]

P.S. We must remember HER Majesty loves Bentley and attained the very first Bentayga, not a Rolls Royce Cullinan, but Bentley

Of course as a Plumber I have to comment. At present I have a 77 RR Silver Shadow II and a 89 Chorniche. However! I used to own a 63 Standard Saloon S3 (1 of 27). How I loved that car! Sadly it had to go when I bought a boat. Before I die I want to be a Bentley owner again!

It's great that the government recognises Bentley success, what a shame though that they can't do the same for triumph, who have grown and been just as successful

[@williamegler8771]

Maybe if Triumph had been sold to the Germans they would have made it. Bentley is just a luxury division of VW.

[@arfski]

@@williamegler8771 Well, technically Triumph has been sold to the Germans seen as the Triumph Motor Co is owned by BMW. I'm guessing you mean Triumph Motorcycles though, but as the owner of a 1974 Triumph Dolomite Sprint, the first 16v production car in the world, I've often wondered what could have been if Triumph had received the backing it deserved, certainly think that it would be ahead of BMW, seen as Triumph invented the entire concept of the luxury fast compact saloon and wiped the floor with BMW back in the day.

[@user-em8eh3rl6q]

Very nice I like the interior 🎉🎉

That owner of plimico plumbers is a con merchant who tells hos workers to stay in the house as long as possible (for example hours for a 2 minute job) so he can charge extortionate prices by the hour and he gets away with it bevause he does it in london. He has cheated his way to his position and he pays his workers poorly and seeing this shows where all of his money is going

[@EZ1111]

He looks crooked tbh

I once had the opportunity of sitting in the back seat of a Bentley lovingly kept in storage. I was surprised. It felt as though i was sitting in a toy car with absolutely no weight or substance ... thin and vacuous .... a piece of molded tinfoil with a really neat radiator cap .... nothing i would like to be in on any street in the real world ...

They can fool themselves as much as they wish, but cars are exactly just "a thing that that you drive from one point to another", nothing more than that.

This is true. But with that way of thinking you'll have nothing to show for your life. Whatever floats your boat.

[@walboyfredo6025]

Same was said by car parking valet for the Royal Oriental Hotel in Mayfair in London. He parked all the main luxurious cars you could think of. He was asked by the programme commentator " ..would you like one of these", he said "No, a car is just designed to take you from A to B". He added " ..the high end luxurious sports car seats are bad for your back along with the fact it's framework so close to the ground".
