  • Bentley prepares to continue centenary celebrations at Salon Privé
  • Past, present and future all on display
  • Restored 1939 Bentley Corniche to make global debut
  • More than 1,000 Bentleys to gather for new World Record
  • EXP 100 GT concept car to make UK public debut

 (28 August 2019, Crewe) Bentley’s centenary celebrations are set to continue next week at the prestigious #salonprive Concours d’Elégance at Blenheim Palace, with a series of debuts, events and announcements that make Bentley the stand-out marque at this year’s #event.

The 1939 Bentley Corniche – once thought lost to time but recently completely restored from ruins by Bentley Mulliner – will make its global debut on the first day of #salonprive on Thursday 5thSeptember. The Corniche is a truly special Bentley – one of one, and the missing link in Bentley’s design DNA between the famous Bentley Embiricos of 1935 and the R-Type Continental of 1952 – cars which still inspire the modern day Continental GT. The finished car will make its debut as the highlight of the Thursday morning press conference at #salonprive, before joining the Concours field.

Making its UK public debut on Thursday will be the EXP 100 GT – Bentley’s vision of the future in concept car form, looking forward 15 years to the Bentley of 2035. Combining extraordinary technology, breath-taking sculptural design and a selection of sustainable materials, the EXP 100 GT is an embodiment of the future of luxury mobility. It will appear on a dedicated stage on the South Lawn from Thursday to Saturday.
