UK luxury car maker Bentley reported the second-best quarter in its 103-year history today, as strong sales abroad helped profit rise by 27% to €216 million.
Sales in the UK slipped by 2%, but Bentley - which made the state limousine that is likely to bring King Charles III around London over the Coronation weekend - made up for this with 39% growth in the Americas and 66% growth in the Middle East.
