It took Frederick Henry Royce and the Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls just a few short years in the burgeoning car industry to produce a vehicle deemed worthy of the advertising slogan "The Best Car in the World".
The Silver Ghost was the first of a series of magnificent cars: the 20hp - the "Baby Rolls" - the ohv Phantom I, the Phantom II and the 1936 V12 Phantom III.
The author, Richard Bird, has photographed these, and the post-war Silver Wraith, Silver Dawn and Silver Cloud. in all their guises. The employment of different coachbuilders working upon the Roll-Royce chassis lends this book a wonderful visual diversity.
Rolls-Royce Heritage has 128 pages and a valuable photo collection.
