The
names Rolls-Royce and Bentley have long been synonymous with engineering
excellence, longevity, luxury and beauty of line. This re-designed and
updated third edition includes more than 900 superb photographs and
drawings of chassis, coachwork and interiors, including designers' wash
drawings.
The book traces the remarkable story of these automotive aristocrats,
examining all the post-war models manufactured at Crewe, bringing the
story right up to date. More recent developments include the marques'
acquisition by Volkswagen in 1998 leading on to the last Rolls-Royce car
built at Crewe, a 2002 Corniche Convertible, and the 2007 Continental GT
coupe and Bentley Arnage Diamond Series unveiled to mark 60 years of
production at Crewe. A full breakdown of all the chassis and engine
numbers, delivery dates and production figures are listed in the book.
