As of 2013 Jack Barclay of Berkeley Square retails Bentley and Bugatti cars, both brands being part of the Volkswagen Group and therefore not considered to be commercial rivals.

After he ran up massive gambling debts at the casino in Le Touquet his mother, fearful for her son’s safety, paid the debts on condition that he gave up racing and focused on his motor dealership business.

Jack Barclay’s name is indelibly associated with Bentley, whose powerful grand tourers dominated endurance racing at Brooklands and Le Mans throughout the 1920s.
