If ever a car was built to be driven, it is the Bentley. Passion for performance is in our blood and our bloodline. In conjunction with the Aspirational Club, Bentley Leicester continues to take an extraordinary interest in drivers who share our passion for Bentley and its racing history, which was written on the race tracks of Europe by a breed of adventurers who not only had the vision to build great cars, but also the courage to drive them to victory.

Bentley Dynamic Driving Day - May 2011

Not for the faint-hearted, our Dynamic Driving Day at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in May will involve tests of skill in a wide variety of driving situations. Experiencing and correcting oversteer and understeer, understanding the ESP system and high speed cornering techniques, the thrill of mastering these and other driving challenges make for a truly unforgettable driving experience.

Bentons are widely regarded as one of Leicestershire’s foremost property companies selling some of the county’s finest cottages and country properties. Headed by partners James Warne and Alastair Benton, the company was formed 35 years ago.

James has overseen the expansion of the company to become one of Leicestershire’s most highly regarded estate agents. The result is a company which, through its extensive advertising throughout Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire
