The sketch of this golden era of the Bentley Continental is completed by a historical and technical analysis.

Bentley 4 1/2 Litre INSTRUCTION BOOK

Instructions on Running and Maintenance; new "Condensed Edition" edited by Rolls-Royce in 1933.

This was a service to those owners whose cars no longer were complete with Handbook/Owner's Manual. The new Instruction Book's tremendous advantage was it did contain all the details from the whole model-series (essential because many of the 'early cars' e.g. during regular service had been up-dated with modifications phased in over the years into the series) - and even a description on the Supercharger was added.

Opposite to the non-illustrated edition from 1933 this version shows several illustrations and added, too, has been a detailed description of the 'Autovac' fuel system (that alone some 20 pages).

Bentley 3 Litre INSTRUCTION BOOK

Handbook/Owner's Manual with Instructions on Runing and Maintenance, 1925 Edition in English language.

Enhanced by several illustration and up-dated by a description edited by 'Autovac' on their fuel supply system that was used by Bentley (and by some 200 motor car manufacturers from that period, too)

UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT gives a most detailed overview about all those Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars that had been exhibits at Earls Court Motor Show. Between 1937 and 1976 location of the London Motor Shows had been Earls Court and that was a major international event; the most important then, of course, within the realms of the British Empire. As a motor car manufacturer Rolls-Royce and Bentley and Bentley were keen to promote their products - and that was true as regards coachbuilders, too. This was their chance to impress an international audience with bespoke creations of pinnacle design and quality.

In this two-volume tome each and any Rolls-Royce and Bentley ever exhibited at Earls Court Motor Show is 'identified' by chassis-number. Precise descriptions are provided as regards each single car - and an impressive amount of information is given on the show itself. The compendium is overwhelmingly detailed with impressive illustrations and the illustrations.

Two volumes, 624 pages in total, 441 illustrations (407 mono, 37 colour),

Coachwork on Rolls-Royce & Bentley 1945-1965 by James Taylor.

The book combines facts researched with utmost care and photos of outstanding quality. An impressive overview is given as regards bespoke coachwork on Rolls-Royce and Bentley from coachbuilders in the UK and on the Continent. Most of the 370 photos, many in colour, have been taken especially for this book and didn't appear previously in other publications. - Thus this is a book of particular fine standard - as can generally be stated for products from this publisher - because it doesn't show 'old' photos which already are known from other books where they have been repeated for the umpteenth time.  

In alphabetical order all 56 coachbuilders are covered who during the post-war period bodied Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Inevitably some of their 4-Door Creations, Coupés, Cabriolets and Sedancas did surprise with bizarre elements which added to the flair of these 'Upper Crust Motor Cars'.

Hardcover, 192 Pages, 370 Photos, 270x210mm

MAKING A MARQUE, ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CAR PROMOTION 1904-1940. The promotional history of Rolls-Royce motor cars from the company's beginnings in 1904 to the outbreak of World War II is given based on exhaustive research and a wealth of documents.

How ably F. Henry Royce and Charles S. Rolls - cleverly assisted by a highly talented staff - achieved to establish Rolls-Royce as "The Best Car in The World" in a constant battle for recognition in all significant markets is fabulously well described and illustrated. Indeed in such impressive quality the book is a feast for the eyes and guarantees hours of entertaining reading.
