JULY 2019

The Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts Club is one of the largest dedicated-marque car clubs in the world and a leading authority on iconic global brands Rolls-Royce and Bentley. The club informs, inspires and connects owners, while also safeguarding and celebrating the heritage of Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

Formed in 1957, its private collection and archive house an exhaustive library of every single Rolls-Royce build record, from the company’s 1904 origins to the present day, as well as chassis cards and construction and test records for more than 100,000 Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars. Alongside the RREC, the international club for Bentley & Rolls-Royce Owners & Enthusiasts is the RROC.

EXPLORING THE EXTRAORDINARY
100 YEARS OF BENTLEY MOTORS

Continuing its alliance with two of the world’s most prestigious car clubs, the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club (RREC) & the Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club (RROC), LOCO Design was delighted to be an official patron of Bentley 100 Celebration 2019. The centenary celebration launched a new publication entitled Exploring the Extraordinary: 100 Years of Bentley Motors, curated and produced by leading publisher St James’s House.

To commemorate this special occasion, LOCO Design was commissioned by St James’s House to design a memento to celebrate the vision and journey of Bentley.

The 3L Shatranj chess set is inspired by the original Bentley 3-Litre and was launched at the Bentley 100 Celebration in London 2019. The design pays homage to the engineering brilliance and innovation of W.O.Bentley and his team. The 3-Litre model represents W.O.Bentley’s original vision of ‘a fast car, a good car, the best in its class’.
