The Bentley Drivers Club was formed in April 1936 by an enthusiastic band of Bentley owners with the object of fostering the spirit of comradeship which existed between Bentley drivers and generally to co-ordinate enthusiasm for the Marque. Initially the founder, Keston Pelmore, left a card on the windscreen of every Bentley in the car park at Brooklands early in 1936 inviting the owners to attend an informal meeting at his flat in Sloane Avenue, Chelsea.

Over the years The Bentley Drivers Club has grown and is now the focus of a world-wide Federation of Bentley Clubs with a membership of some 3,700.

The club also houses the W.O. Bentley Memorial Foundation, [a comprehensive archive of historical documents, records and artefacts relating to the Bentley motor car].
