Reseña del editor:

This elegantly-designed book chronicles the history of Rolls-Royce automobiles from the company's creation in 1904 to its imminent handover to BMW. All models are featured in chronological order, with sidebars providing additional information about the personalities involved, buying tips, specifications and production figures. Coverage includes the Silver Wraiths, Silver Dawns and Phantoms of the 1946 to 1955 and the absorption of Bentley; the Silver Shadow introduced in 1965; bankruptcy of the car and aero engine company in 1971; the Corniche, Camargue and Phantom (1959 to 1995), and the Silver Spirit, Silver Spur and Silver Dawn (1980 to 1998); and the use of a BMW engine in the 1998 Silver Seraph and the convoluted acquisition of the trademark by the German company.

Reseña del editor:

In 1904 Henry Royce, a Manchester electrical engineer, decided to build a motor car. The 10hp model bore the perfectionist imprint to be found in all his work. Pioneer automobilist and motor agent the Hon Charles Rolls took his entire output of vehicles which were sold under the Rolls-Royce name. Their legacy is to be found in every subsequent Rolls-Royce. This book concentrates on the postwar history of the marque, charting the story of the Silver Wraith, Silver Cloud, Silver Shadow, and all subsequent models. The related Bentleys are also covered.
