Of all the books I have about these automobiles, this one is the best with excellent copy and wonderful photographs.

Rolls Royce is the epitome of class, when you say something is the Rolls Royce of whatever, people understand instinctively that you are refering to the benchmark. This book has crisp images and the text is very interesting and refreshingly easy to read. It chonicles from start to finish the first rolls to the most current, and the reader seeing the evolution of the car, ever changing, but somehow always staying true to what makes a Rolls Royce the finest automobile in the world, that was the brilliance of the designers and creators of Rolls at Crewe. Highly recommended.

is a fascinating and informative history of the first forty years of the internationally famous Rolls-Royce company, whose achievements were part and parcel of the technological advancements of the twentieth century. It was in 1904 that Henry Royce and Charles Rolls collaborate to build luxury cars for the rich. Then successfully engineered the "Silver Ghost" and launched one of the most successful car manufacturers of their day. The impact of both World Wars compelled the corporation to the cutting edge of aeronautical engines for such legendary aircraft as the Spitfire, Hurricane, and American Mustang.

I am a reasonably talented amateur mechanic, and a long time car enthusiast/restorer. I was always a bit nervous about buying a Silver Shadow, because I know they are complicated, and very advanced (for their time) automobiles. This book completely explains all of the intricate working of these cars, and more importantly, shows how the home mechanic/enthusiast can take care of most of the regular maintenance, and smaller repairs themselves, rather than having to pay specialists for all of the required work. There are even sections on restoration of woodwork, paintwork, etc.

Book about the Crewe years of Bentley and Rolls Royce.

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 story of the Silver Cloud by Graham Robson

Only the rich and powerful owns a Rolls Royce since it is the best cars in the world. After reading this book, you may never look at a Rolls-Royce—or the people in it—in quite the same way again.

Why should the mechanic get to have all the fun when its your car and not his? This paperback enables anyone with reasonable mechanical ability to maintain his or her Shadow in top form.
