- The visiting British major's name is Bently Royce, a mixture of Bentley Motors and Rolls-Royce, two of the most prestigous British manufacturers of motor cars. Bentley was Rolls-Royce's most serious competitor in the UK luxury car market, so Rolls bought out Bentley in 1931 -- when Bentley had financial problems -- in order to control its competition. edit »
