  • WHY NOT? THE STORY OF THE HONOURABLE CHARLES STEWART ROLLS
    DAVID BAINES
    Charles Rolls was the first Englishman to be killed in an air crash. He was thirty years old. Rolls’s death shocked the country and made headlines across the world. His relative youth at the time is perhaps the reason that he is a forgotten hero; a man who today receives little credit for the legacy that he left behind, even though at the time of his death on July 12th 1910 he ...

                    [sinopsis_editor] => Through 80 years these legendary Bentleys, the creation of the celebrated W O Bentley, and not to be confused with the Bentleys produced by Rolls-Royce since its acquisition of the remains of Bentley Motors in 1931, have remained the object of fascination and desire of all motoring enthusiasts. WO launched his first model, the 3-litre, in 1921, as a sporting car for the discerning driver, intending that it should provide 80mph performance, with exceptional reliability based on the quality of its engineering and construction. It became the favourite of wealthy young sportsmen and, to prove a point, 3-litres won at Le Mans in 1924 and 1927. While still in production it was joined in 1927 by the 90mph 4½-litre, still a four-cylinder, which won at Le Mans in 1928. The best-known Bentley, the supercharged 4½, was offered in 1929 and was a genuine 110mph car at a time when most cars struggled to achieve 60mph.
The author commences with an account of the design and development of the 3-litre prototypes against the background of WO’s experience as a designer, particularly his work on aero engine design in World War I.
Then comes a detailed examination and analysis of the production 3-litre – its engine, transmission, chassis and running gear – and its evolution through the “Standard” model, Speed Model and Super Sports, with extracts from contemporary reports and road tests. This is followed by equivalent coverage of the 4½-litre and 4½-litre supercharged models. The author gives an account of the cars’ illustrious competition history, principally at Le Mans, and reviews the range of bodies offered by coachbuilders, from stark two-seaters to overweight limousines.
Ten outstanding examples of the cars have been photographed specially for this book and are featured in detail in some 150 colour shots. There are also more than 150 black-and-white photographs drawn from archive sources.
Offering an in-depth examination of theses splendid, charismatic Bentleys, this book provides an unrivalled store of knowledge for the many who care passionately about them, and serves as a tribute to the men who made them.

Description

A unique and personal account of young designer’s journey after joining that most prestigious of marques, Rolls-Royce. Sometimes eccentric, often humorous, the workings of this uniquely British institution during a period of immense change are described in detail. Generously supported by previously unseen illustrations, the author’s story, from designer to Chief Stylist, pulls back the curtain concealing an idiosyncratic institution, motivated as much by pride, as the bottom-line.
Synopsis

From a small design team working on the Silver Spirit/Mulsanne, to becoming Chief Stylist, Graham Hull peels back the curtain on an idiosyncratic institution during his time at Crewe. Throwing light on a factory motivated as much by pride, as the bottom-line, all the projects, whether production, special commission, or aborted designs, are covered, and the often unique styling process is explored. This process was a key element in the resurgence of the dormant Bentley marque, that, with its fortunes on the rise, became the star of the Geneva Motor Show, attracting commissions from wealthy enthusiasts for totally bespoke vehicles. Founding fathers Royce and Rolls melded engineering with marketing, but as marketing took over, this union fractured. The drama of how this British institution was divided between BMW and VW, and how aesthetic design, never cherished by British management, was increasingly recognised, is fundamental to the story. The bewildering number of projects during the 1990s is a genuine eye-opener and a phenomena that demanded unique peoples, skills, and facilities.
Independent Reviews

A highly interesting insider report.
British Classics

Funny, touching and immensely readable this book by Graham Hull offers a rare human glimpse into the pressured world behind the cold if starkly beautiful shiny metal exteriors of two of the world’s most fought-over mechanical masterpieces.
Thoroughly recommended. Lavishly illustrated and jolly good value for money.
Big End

This is the most interesting book on Rolls-Royce and the development of the cars ever printed. That’s all you need to know. Get it for yourself and buy a copy for your buddy too. You won’t be able to put it down.
The Modern Car

A long overdue book by pretty much the only person who could have written it.
The Flying Lady

The world of Rolls-Royce and Bentley is at your fingertips in a stunning new book from the man who worked on them for 30 years.
Sunday Mail

This is a useful reference as well as a fine read.
Classic & Sports Car

Author Graham Hunt – ex-chief stylist at Rolls and Bentley – reveals lots of detail about the brands in the frantic nineties, leading up to the BMW and VW divide. Plenty of pictures and sketches ...
Auto Express – * * * *

A really interesting read that shows just how much goes on behind the scenes!
New Zealand Classic Car

A superb book!
Old Timer Magazine / Dreamcar Magazine

One of the constant gripes we have when reviewing books is how most new ‘must-reads’ offer nothing new, but this compelling effort is anything but a soulless cash-in.
Octane

This is a well produced book with good illustrations ... to anyone with an interest in either marque, this book represents a new insightful approach from an interestingly different viewpoint, with some excellent renderings and illustrations along the way.
BDC Review

Fascinating study of concepts and the odd doomsday scenario from Crewe.

He was thirty years old. Rolls’s death shocked the country and made headlines across the world. His relative youth at the time is perhaps the reason that he is a forgotten hero; a man who today receives little credit for the legacy that he left behind, even though at the time of his death on July 12th 1910 he was one of the most famous men in the country. His loss was regarded as a national tragedy.
Today he is most famous for the partnership he forged with Henry Royce to form Rolls-Royce, a name that today is as synonymous with excellence as it was then. Yet Rolls was a national hero long before he met Royce in Manchester in 1904.
The son of a peer, Rolls was one of the first, and certainly the youngest of Britain’s pioneer motorists. He was a successful racing driver and achieved what many believed impossible – selling the motor car to Britain.
With the reliability of the car achieved, Rolls immersed himself in conquering the next great frontier, the air. He made his first ascent in a balloon in 1898 and was experimenting with the possibilities of powered flight as early as 1901. One of the first Britons to fly, he made the first return crossing of the Channel in 1909 in a Wright Flyer and was acclaimed across the world.
Charles Rolls was an enigma, a man of great paradox, and yet he was a great patriot, racing driver, record breaker, aviator, one of the United Kingdom’s great industrialists, a pioneer in the true sense of the word and he had a prophetic ability to see the way of the future.
This biography quotes extensively from the writings of Charles Rolls himself and from contemporary accounts of the events during those pioneer days of motoring and aviation.

The name Rolls-Royce might once again be qualified with the sobriquet ‘the best car in the world’.
The Phantom saloon is designed around an aluminium spaceframe that imparts great strength, torsional rigidity and lightness to the car; it also has the ability to be easily adapted to other dimensions and designs. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars knew that they had to produce more than one model to satisfy their existing and potential customers, and so, following the worldwide approbation for the experimental car 100EX, a production version was conceived, designed and manufactured; the Phantom Drophead Coupé.
A two-door, four-seater soft-top convertible; the Drophead Coupé was designed to set a new class-standard of excellence for driver and passengers alike. This book tells the story of the car’s creation and its debut into the motoring world. The reader may now decide if Rolls-Rolls Motor Cars succeeded in their endeavour to build the most attractive, exciting and romantic open car to bear the Spirit of Ecstasy mascot and the name Rolls-Royce.
