HR Owen has officially moved into its new Bentley Motors luxury car dealership in Surrey ahead of the April 12 return of customers following COVID-19 ‘Lockdown 3’.
The AM100 car retail group moves to the new Ripley site from its previous site in Byfleet to benefit from a 0.7-acre location capable of displaying 30 new and used vehicles.
It is the latest investment by HR Owen, following multiple new showroom announcements and renovations of existing sites over the past year and last month’s announcement that it had begun development of a 5.4-acre Bentley, Lamborghini and Maserati supercar dealership megacentre in Hatfield.

The Bentayga Hybrid (and the whole Bentayga line) got new front-end styling with a wider grille and bigger bumpers. (Bentley photo) Text size Bentley was quick to recognize that despite a century of tradition dictating otherwise, it needed an SUV in its lineup. And, as has occurred with other luxury marques (Porsche, for instance), that $180,000 SUV quickly became the company’s biggest seller in its first month on the market in 2016, actually.
Despite having its factory closed for seven weeks, Bentley had a great year in 2020, selling 11,206 cars and SUVs (up from 11,006 in 2019). Sales in the Americas (including Canada and Latin America) were up 4.2%to 3,035, but there were even bigger gains in China up 48.5%.
