This illustrated history covers every model produced by Rolls-Royce, from the little 10hp vehicle of 1904 to their present-day luxury cars. Compiled with the full cooperation of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd., this exceptional volume provides detailed technical specs and chassis numbers, a Rolls-Royce company chronology from 1904-96, and is filled with many previously unpublished illustrations of the cars produced by Rolls-Royce (and Bentley since 1933).

Well presented, concise, imformative, & readable,
By Angel Lee "Liocorno Amethyst Moonstone" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Rolls-Royce and Bentley: The history of the cars (Hardcover)
While not the largest reference on Rolls-Royce & Bentley, this book is one of the most pleasurable I've read on the subject. It is very well presented, concise, informative and readable. Beginning with the first Royce cars of 1904, the book continues chronologically through the 1996 models. I most enjoyed the sections on the Silver Ghost & those on the later models which are given equal coverage with the popular middle year cars. The numerous illustrations are very well selected. Especially nice are chassis line drawings for most models and many good interior photos. The color photo gallery in the center is beautiful. Another useful feature is a technical specification chart, including chassis numbers, for each series. If you would like to invest in just one book to tell the story of Rolls-Royce & Bentley, this would be an excellent choice.
