BENTLEY Motors has expanded its network into Russia with the opening of a dealership in Moscow.

The manufacturer says the move was prompted by a growing interest in Bentley by Russian customers and growth in the luxury goods market.

It is based in the exclusive area of Tretyakovskya proezd, near Red Square and will promote the autumn launch of the new Continental GT (pictured below). Bentley Moscow managing director Ilja Berezin said: 'We are proud to welcome Bentley to Russia.'
