AX201 is owned by Bentley Motors, Ltd. and NOT Rolls-Royce. It was part of the Bentley
assets that Volkswagen acquired when Vickers PLC sold the company. The rights to the Rolls-Royce name were not included and that was sold the BMW. But Volkswagen via Bentley acquired AX201, rights to the radiator shell design and rights to the Charles Sykes
"Spirit of Ectasy" mascot. BMW and VW worked out a deal to allow BMW to acquire rights
to the radiator shell and mascot.
If a Bugatti Type 41 ever comes to market, it could easily top $20 million as could an
Auto-Union D type if one of those ever comes up for sale.
