Some Bentleys will be made in Germany, but American buyers will receive only ones built at the company's historic British factory.

Bentleys made in Germany won't be sold in Britain either, according to marketing director Adrian Hallmark, as British and American buyers expect a British luxury car to be made in England.

Haha, and what's wrong with their cows? The Danes make great drivers so I don't think there should be any issues with their cows.:D :p

the leather is actually sourced from Norway. In general, wire fences are rare there, hence the hides are relatively free from wire fence scars.
Also, a super plus factor is that most of the really anti-social tanning work is done outside the UK.

Not to go too far off topic, but do they use more wooden fences then? Are do they just let the cows walk out onto the highway like in Mexico.:bigeyes:
