Purchases of new Bentley cars have fallen sharply because of the state of the global economy, according to the company that assembles the luxury vehicles in Cheshire.
Bentley Motor Cars, a division of Volkswagen, the German group, said it had sold 13,560 vehicles in 2023, 1,600 fewer than in the previous year, a fall of 11 per cent.
