The first Rolls-Royce armoured car - a privately owned vehicle fitted with a machine-gun and limited armour plate - was used by the Royal Naval Air Service in Flanders in 1914.\n\nBy 1915, nearly 100 had been built and turned over to the Army. From then on, as Sir Albert Stern said 'They searched the world for war', operating as far apart as the northwest frontier of India, the Middle East and southern Africa. The cars were fast, quiet and reliable but above all powerful.\n\nThis book tells the complete story of the Rolls-Royce Armoured Car, following its design and development as it fought from theatre to theatre during World War I and the turbulent inter-war years. After World War I, the War Office continued to produce the Rolls-Royce while tinkering with the design. These further cars served all across the Empire, including in Ireland and even later Shanghai, returning for a final brief appearance in the early stages of World War II.

Rolls-Royce and Bentley relied upon standardised body designs after 1945, but for the next two decades both marques also supplied chassis frames separately, and it was possible to have these clothed with coachwork by bespoke coachbuilders like, for example, Mulliner, Park Ward and James Young in Britain, or Graber, Farina and Franay in Europe. Many buyers took this route, and this highly illustrated book bears witness to the wide variety of styles that were built in this fascinating period. Chassis number lists for each coachbuilder, both in Britain and overseas, identify their creations, to make this a comprehensive and essential companion for anyone interested in Rolls-Royce and Bentley in the post-war era.

It’s hard to imagine a history of British engineering without Rolls-Royce: there would be no Silver Ghost, no Merlin for the Spitfire, no Alcock and Brown. Rolls-Royce is one of the most recognisable brands in the world.\n\nBut what of the man who designed them?\n\nThe youngest of five children, Frederick Henry Royce was born into almost Dickensian circumstances: the family business failed by the time he was 4, his father died in a Greenwich poorhouse when he was 9, and he only managed two fragmented years of formal schooling. But he made all of it count.\n\nIn Sir Henry Royce: Establishing Rolls-Royce, from Motor Cars to Aero Engines, acclaimed aeronautical historian Peter Reese explores the life of an almost forgotten genius, from his humble beginnings to his greatest achievements. Impeccably researched and featuring almost 100 illustrations, this is the remarkable story of British success on a global stage.

Questo libro non raccoglie semplicemente Rolls-Royce appartenute a personaggi famosi. Racconta automobili vissute: vetture utilizzate per muoversi tra set cinematografici, tournée, palazzi del potere e residenze private, attraversate nel tempo come strumenti di rappresentazione, status e identità. Dalle grandi berline del dopoguerra come Silver Cloud e Phantom, alle rivoluzionarie Silver Shadow, fino alle eleganti coupé e cabriolet Corniche, il volume ripercorre alcune delle tappe fondamentali della storia Rolls-Royce mettendo in relazione modelli iconici con figure del cinema, della musica, della politica e dell’alta società internazionale. Accanto alle limousine utilizzate da capi di Stato e protagonisti della scena pubblica, emergono le Rolls-Royce personali di attori, musicisti e imprenditori: automobili scelte non solo per il lusso, ma per ciò che rappresentano. In alcuni casi simbolo di potere, in altri rifugio privato, in altri ancora elemento scenico di una vita esposta.
