British luxury car manufacturer Bentley Motors has recently partnered with luxury book publisher Opus to create the Bentley Centenary Book, a diamond encrusted 800 pages brochure that celebrates one hundred years from the creation of the famed company.

Over the nine chapters, this stunning book tells the glorious stories that made Bentley Motors what they are today, with their grand 24 Hour Le Mans victories, iconic cars of the past and the legendary people who made everything possible.

The nine chapters of the book focus on the values that brought Bentley their success, such as the Performance, Design, Rarity and Craftsmanship, and also the Innovation and Extraordinary Customers, with the final chapter dedicated to the chairman and CEO Adrian Hallmark, who’s ready to take Bentley into its next century.
