Bentley Motors has a long history, and the carmaker is celebrating with a very important book. The Bentley Centenary Opus will be offered in three different versions, the company unveiled and presented, with prices ranging from £3.000 to £200.000. The 800-page book celebrates Bentley's 100 year heritage with nine chapters on the brand's performance, design, craftsmanship and similar topics. The foreword was written by fashion icon Ralph Lauren, while the final chapter on Bentley's of the future was written by company CEO Adrian Hallmark.
When fully opened, the book is nearly a meter (3.3 feet) wide, with special gatefolds up to 2 meters wide, and it weighs a whopping 66 pounds. Bentley claims the book, being published by luxury publishing house Opus, is "the biggest book ever produced on the story of an automotive brand." The book features genuine Bentley leather bindings and one of the brand's Bentley badges. Owners will even be able to pick the same hide color for the front cover as in their own Bentley car, and can have photos of their own cars inserted into the book.
