Since 1904, Rolls-Royce cars have come to mean the very finest in automotive engineering and luxury appointments. In this updated edition of his 75-year survey, Edward Eves takes a fresh, colourful and objective look at the way in which this distinguished motor car has evolved-and the extent to which the most recent models, the Silver Spirit and the Silver Spur, mark a significant advance over their predecessors. He explains the surprising circumstances that led to the building of the first Rolls-Royce, and describes the contrasting personalities of Henry Royce, the self-taught engineer of total dedication, and the Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls, a Cambridge-educated, restless aristocrat who sold cars to wealthylords and raced successfully on both sides of the Atlantic and in Europe. There is a full account of the years in which Rolls-Royces were manufactured at Springfield, Mass., and the development of the 'baby' Rollses in the 1920s and 1930s, as well as the shift after World War II towards sedate touringlimousines, all engineered to the highest standards. Throughout this book the focus of interest re-mains on the cars, from the first little runabouts to the £150,000 Phantom VI. A 56-page section of technical specifications deals with every model. The photographs, many taken specially for this book, show the wonderful diversity of body-styles created by coachbuilders such as Barker, Hooper, Park Ward and others in Britain, and Brewster in the United States. Never before has so comprehensive a collection of colour, photographs been assembled in book form on this subject There are cars from private collec-tions all over the world including Switzerland, Holland, Italy, Canada, the United States and Britain. All display the characteristically refined style that makes Rolls-Royce so undeniably English-and so sought after by royalty, leaders of industry and top entertainers around the world.
