3.0 out of 5 stars ROLLS-ROYCE The Best Car in the World (but not the book), September 27, 2000

This review is from: Rolls-Royce: The Best Car in the World (Hardcover)

A nice looking book with fine color plates. The text is not bad, but contains many minor errors of fact as well as a few major ones, for example: 1)the Mark VI Bentley was NOT AT ALL 'identical' to the prewar Mark V; 2)the Company did not set up a plant next to the Crewe works to 'build' the standard steel bodies - they were shipped in from Pressed Steel Company and fine-tuned, painted and trimmed by Rolls-Royce. These are not critical for the casual reader, but are surprising in that Reg Abbiss, well-known and respected among Rolls-Royce enthusiasts, was involved with the author in development of the book. Nevertheless, apart from a few clangers like the above, it is a book worth having.

The authors of this book are greats in the Rolls-Royce and auto journalist world. Reg Abbiss is retired from Rolls-Royce, and John Heilig is well known for his well researched books.. While nitpickers may grate that there are some minor facts which aren't perfectly interpreted, this is a 99.5% accurate, and a great reference on this fabled car company. Great as a cross reference.
