Bentley celebrated 80 years of production at its Crewe factory with a one-off Continental GTC featuring a unique Supernova Purple Ombre finish.
More than 100 historic Bentleys returned to Pyms Lane as the brand highlighted its past while preparing for an electric future.
The anniversary underscores Bentley’s push to modernize its 'Dream Factory' while preserving the hand-built craftsmanship that defines the brand.
A one-off Bentley Continental GTC finished in a new Supernova Purple Ombre paint was unveiled in Crewe as Bentley marks 80 years of car production at its historic Pyms Lane site. The car took center stage at an anniversary event on July 28, 2026, with more than 100 customers in attendance.
The company used the occasion to underline how its so-called Dream Factory is blending traditional coachbuilding skills with modern, more digital production for its next generation of models. For those following Bentley’s heritage program, the gathering echoed other recent celebrations in Crewe, such as the return of the first new 4.5-liter Blower in 90 years.
