New Flying Spur looks amazing |
Bentley sales were an impressive 10,120 in 2013. With the arrival of an SUV in 2016, that will mean a larger Bentley company. 140 staff are now being sought already for the new model, which I believe will be an electric hybrid. The increase for 2013 was 19%.

Certainly a class act |
The US is the biggest market by some way, especially with a downturn in luxury sales in China. Many Asia/Pacific nations did well in sales, with some sizable increases. Some of the comparisons I find intriguing. For example, more Bentleys were sold in Luxembourg than Italy, while New Zealand exceeded some much larger nations. France's figure has gone awol unfortunately.
The chart below is coloured according to region. Thanks to all those who made this list possible.
