Description
Step inside a world of engineering excellence with this collection, dedicated to Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and officially endorsed by the Rolls-Royce company. Detailed descriptions of the manufacturing process are set against a backdrop of heritage and prestige, including an exclusive showcase of the company's brand-new facility and a splendid gallery of Rolls-Royce cars dating back to sketches of work from the 1930s. This collection includes numerous unseen photos of Sir Henry Royce driving early versions of his iconic cars.
A true behind-the-scenes experience, this book introduces the reader to the Rolls-Royce master craftsmen at work. High-quality images and detailed insights reveal the process by which each car is constructed, from the 2019 Ghost Zenith back in time to the 1904 Original. Rolls-Royce opens their archive to reveal a spectacular timeline of design, providing readers with an insight into the world of those who still uphold the words of Sir Henry Royce: "Strive for perfection in everything you do".
The contents list guides the reader through the complete construction of a car: Design and Customisation, Paint and Finish, Chassis Assembly, Woodwork, Leather, Testing, The Spirit of Ecstasy Hood Ornament, and more. With a glimpse at the RollsRoyce Training Academy and a plethora of featured cars from last year to the start of the last century, this is the ultimate RollsRoyce collectors' volume. Featured cars include the Silver Ghost (2018), the Phantom Aviator Coupe (2012), the Phantom Tranquillity (2019) the AX201 Silver Ghost (1907), the Phantom II Continental (1934) and many more.
