“...the bentley/rolls,around 5,000 lbs. which are basically the same car.”
Uh, NO!
They USED to be the same, however in July of ‘98 Volkswagen (with Ferdinand Piëch as President) purchased Rolls Royce and Bentley for a VERY large sum...
- HOWEVER -
BMW had already acquired all of the rights to Rolls Royce motorcars and Ferdinand Piëch vastly over paid for the Rolls Royce aircraft propulsion division...this led to his leaving the company a few years later after no-one wanted to purchase ‘His Baby’ — a $120,000 Volkswagen Phaeton.
Any Bentley is just a VW/Audi with nicer trappings...
thanks for straightening me out on that my info is waaaay old when my uncle actually owned the first RR dealership in miami. Im sure yours is correct.
