This wonderful ivory cloth coloured hardback book, with silver embossed title on the spine, is in really good condition. Normal wear and marks apply consistent with use and age. There is a fabulous Rolls Royce Emblem on the front cover. 158 pages, all intact, all pages, text and illustrations are in good, clean readable order. Dust jacket included, a wee bit worn and torn around the edges. Paintings by Melbourne Brindle, and Introduction from Julien Levy. Rolls Royce, the name conjures up a proud, clean cut silver radiator surmounted by the famous "flying lady" but more than that it is synonym for excellence. So classic, simple, and chaste, the orginal radiator has been passed down to us for the current Rolls Royce cars, a distinctive heirloom well known throughout the world. No wonder that this car became an obession for Melbourne Brindle even as a boy, he actually manufactured a Rolls from original parts he was able to secure and the chassis of another car he owned. Phil May gives a short biography of Mr Royce and Mr Rolls, a history of the heyday of these cars, the Edwardian era and the history and background of each of the twenty cars and what is known of their owners. A truly wonderful and interesting book.…
