More about the book
The Rolls-Royce name is synonymous with perfection and the pursuit of excellence, on account of the extraordinarily high engineering standards demanded by Henry Royce, the marque s founder. His first car, built in 1904, attracted the attention of the aristocratic Charles Rolls, who was initially responsible for selling it. Soon afterwards came the legendary Silver Ghost and Royce s place in motoring history was secure. All subsequent models have followed this perfectionist approach, maintained by BMW, which acquired the company in 1998. About the author Jonathan Wood is a founder member of the staff of Classic Cars magazine, he has twice won the Guild of Motoring Writers Montagu Trophy and is a two-times recipient of the Society of Automotive Historians Cugnot Award. Other titles for Shire by this author are: The Bean Austin Seven The Citroen The Bullnose Morris Classic Cars The Model T Ford The Volkswagen Beetle"
