The Bentley Motor Car Company has a fabulous history of racing and of prestigious road cars - the name is synonymous with what is often referred to as the golden age of motorsport and even today evokes an image of high living and fast driving. Packed with hundreds of facts and figures, the "Bentley Miscellany" has everything a Bentley enthusiast could want to know about these superb driving machines: What the Bentley logos mean, The most (and least!) successful Bentleys, Bentley speeds at le Mans then and now, Bentleys in film and James Bond's Bentley, Famous Bentleys and their owners. These and many other questions are answered in this fascinating compendium, making it a must-have for Bentley's many fans around the world and for all who are fascinated by the aura of a luxury brand.
Nicholas Foulkes was educated at Christ's Hospital and Hertford College Oxford. Following a three-year flirtation with the wine trade he joined the London Evening Standard. He worked first as Editor of the London Life section and was then appointed Associate Editor of ES, the monthly Evening Standard magazine, to assist with its successful re-launch as a weekly title. He left full time employment to pursue a writing career. He has since contributed articles to most major British newspapers and magazines and is the luxury editor of GO. He has written several books, the most recent of which was a biography of bisexual gambling dandy and early 19th-century political fixer Count d'Orsay. A keen backgamman player, he lives beyond his means in West London with his wife Alexandra and two sons.
