The Silver Ghost was used by the British Navy to raise its first Armored squadron. They were used both in World War 1 and 2. The cars were an important advantage for the British forces during the war.

Bentley and RR

RR bought Bentley after the Great Depression. The purchase was so secret that even Bentley founder Walter Owen Bentley didnt knew that RR was the buyer. Bentley was at that time a complete sports brand like Lamborghini today. Was sold to the Volkswagen group in 1998.

 RR used Bentley as sports-versions of its own cars. But that changed in 1980s when it was re-established as a premium sports model.
