Ever since the magnificent 40/50 Silver Ghost was revealed at the 1906 London Motor Show, Rolls-Royce has had an unrivaled reputation for making the very finest automobiles. A Rolls-Royce has been and always will be the best car in the world. Besides superb engineering and careful attention to detail, Rolls-Royces are known for their luxurious and elegant coachwork, masterpieces created by the very best coachbuilders: Hooper, Barker, James Young, Mulliner, Park Ward, and Brewster to name only a few. Every effort was made to provide owners with exactly what they wanted, regardless of cost. Car historian Jonathan Wood begins by explaining how Rolls-Royce was founded, and describes the early cars, dwelling on the most illustrious Rolls of all, the outstanding Silver Ghost. He follows this with the early Phantoms, spectacular limousines with superb coachwork and interiors, the Phantom II being regarded by many as one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Then come the smaller but nevertheless noteworthy 20, 20/25, 25/30 and the Wraith, all of which consolidated Rolls-Royce's reputation during the inter-war years. Some of the most interesting early Rolls-Royces were manufactured in the United States. These were no less appealing than their European counterparts, and several examples are featured, including the famous Brewster Playboy. Then there are the post-war Rolls-Royces, the huge Phantoms so beloved of royalty and heads of state; the Silver Wraith and Silver Dawn, with their unique flowing lines; those status symbols par excellence, the Silver Cloud and Silver Shadow; the exclusive Camargue and Corniche, the hallmarks of success; and finally the latest Rolls-Royce, the Silver Spirit, refined, elegant, and an excellent example of modern engineering at its very best. This carefully researched book will be treasured by car buffs everywhere. They will particularly enjoy the stunning full-color photographs, many of which were specially taken for the book in California. No library is complete without this book on the greatest of all Great Marques. 100% of the proceeds of this sale go to Beyond the Walls (Charity) Make an offer! What do you have to lose?
