Bentley Starts US Road Trip

British luxury carmaker Bentley Motors announced today an Anglo-American team began a six-state journey across the United States, accompanied by over 1,000 Bentley Heritage Parts and Accessories. Dubbed the Heritage Roadshow, the 8,000 road trip aims to encourage Americans that they can buy a range of Bentley and Rolls Royce accessories directly from the British company.

The consignment of parts and accessories includes everything from true heavyweight items like complete V8 engine blocks right through to owner manuals (printed to US specifications) which are offered in original, branded wrapping.

All the parts on the Heritage Roadshow are supported by a three-year manufacturer guarantee if fitted by an approved Bentley dealership.

“We have a unique but also very enjoyable challenge at Bentley,”
explains Steve O’Hara, Director for After-Sales, Bentley Motors Limited, Crewe. “Nearly 80 per cent of all the Bentleys ever built are still in existence. They have been cherished by generations of owners and are often considered a part of the family. In many cases these classic cars are still being driven and enjoyed, rather than living in museums, and our task is to continue to provide these passionate owners and drivers with the service and parts they need.”

Having started in Beverly Hills, the Heritage Roadshow will be visiting the following cities: Pasadena, Parsippany, Bethesda, High Point, Dallas, Houston, Palm Beach and Miami, ending October 23.

“We received a flood of e-mail and telephone enquiries last year as well as several visitors from the United States, who flew in just to attend the Parts Warehouse open day. We felt it was important to respond to this enthusiasm and come to the United States. The challenge of spending nearly two months on the road and visiting places as diverse and distant as Maryland and Florida has been made easier by our American colleagues and the support of our Bentley dealers who are hosting the roadshow,”
added O’Hara.
