With well over 250 photographs, many in colour by distinguished
photographer Simon Clay, this book celebrates the style and flair
of a bygone era, and provides a vital fund of information for the
many enthusiasts and owners who care about these fine cars today.
When Rolls-Royce introduced its new junior model, the Twenty, in
1922, there was no question of the company supplying coachwork for
it. That was the job of the myriad specialist coachbuilding firms,
large and small, both in Britain and overseas. Customers went to a
coachbuilder of their choice, asked for what they wanted, and got
it. It was a system that remained unchanged in principle throughout
the period, as the Twenty gave way to the 20/25, that model in turn
was succeeded by the 25/30, and the Wraith became the final junior
Rolls-Royce before the Second World War brought a great and
glamorous era to an end. The work of all these coachbuilders and
many more is covered in this book, which for ease of understanding
divides each coachbuilder's creations up according to the host
chassis and the different styles - saloon, limousine, drophead
coupe, and so on. Rolls-Royce owners will particularly appreciate
the inclusion of chassis numbers for all the cars bodied by each
coachbuilder, a feature which makes this book a valuable reference
work as well as a visual treat.
