Book Description
Sixteen-year-old Bentley Royce seems to have it all: an actual Bentley, tuition to a fancy private school, lavish vacations, and everything else that comes along with being an LA starlet. But after five seasons on her family's reality show, Rolling with the Royces, and a lifetime of dealing with her narcissistic sister, Porsche, media-obsessed mother, Mercedes, and somewhat clueless brother, Maybach, Bentley wants out. Luckily for her, without a hook for season six, cancellation is looming and freedom is nigh. With their lifestyle on the brink, however, Bentley's family starts to crumble, and one thing becomes startlingly clear--without the show, there is no family. And since Bentley loves her family, she has to do the unthinkable--save the show. But when her future brother-in-law's car goes over a cliff with both Bentley and her sister's fiancé¿ inside-on the day of the big made-for-TV wedding, no less-things get real. Really real. Like, not reality show real. Told in a tongue-in-cheek voice that takes a swipe at all things Hollywood, Royce Rolls is a laugh-out-loud funny romp with an LA noir twist about what it means to grow up with the cameras rolling and what really happens behind the scenes.

Generously supported by previously unseen illustrations, the author's story, from his position as designer to Chief Stylist, pulls back the curtain concealing an idiosyncratic institution, motivated as much by pride as the bottom-line.

Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud - The Complete Story
Author: James Taylor
Publisher: The Crowood Press
ISBN: 1785009680
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
The Rolls-Royce company acquired Bentley Motors in 1931 and, although models continued to be produced with the Bentley name, they increasingly used many Rolls-Royce components. By the time the Silver Cloud and Bentley S were released in 1955, they were really differently badged versions of the same design. Yet the sporting tradition of the Bentley marque was upheld with the exotic Continental models that were derived from them. The Silver Cloud family represents a pinnacle for the Rolls-Royce company. The cars all had and still have a very special presence, and the standard saloons have an unsurpassed elegance and rightness of line. The special-bodied cars, meanwhile, are reminders of an age when the skill of the best coachbuilders was something deserving of universal admiration. With around 190 photographs, this book features: The story of the design and development of the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and Bentley S Type; A look at the production development of these cars between 1955 and 1965; An examination of the Bentley Continental models that were derived from Silver Cloud and S Type design; The history of the Phantom V and Phantom VI limousine chassis introduced in 1959 and destined to last until 1990; Full technical specifications, including paint and interior trim choices; Production figures and chassis codes and finally, a chapter on buying and owning one of these wonderful classic cars.

Rolls-Royce and Bentley
Author: Malcolm Bobbitt
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 1803998458
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
In 1998 Rolls-Royce celebrated the 60th anniversary of the opening of its Crewe factory, the home of the company's car production since World War II. This illustrated history celebrates Rolls Royce and Bentley cars and the company that produced them. Motoring writer Malcolm Bobbitt has brought together a varied collection of photos to create this visual account. The text explains the move of the company's car production from Derby to Crewe just after the war and takes the story through the successful 1950s and 1960s. He recalls the near bankruptcy of the company in the 1970s and its subsequent recovery, and finishes with a description of the company and its cars today in light of the 1998 sale to Volkswagen and the acquisition of the Rolls-Royce name by BMW. The author concentrates on the evolution of the characteristic models - the Bentley Mk VI and the R-Types, the Silver Wraith and Silver Dawn, the Silver Cloud and Silver Shadow and Silver Spirit - and he looks at the recent revival of the Bentley marque which recaptures the spirit of the cars' pre-war sporting history. The book also remembers the notable individuals who played a vital part in the creation of these famous vehicles, and it describes the company's organization and its meticulous methods of design, testing and construction.

Book Description
THE SECRET OF SUCCESSFUL RUNNING. Examination of privately-owned cars has demonstrated that while some drivers realise the necessity of periodical lubrication of all moving parts, others, who have not been trained as mechanics, content themselves by oiling the parts which come immediately under their eye, and ne-glect other parts, thus allowing the chassis to be injured, to become noisy and inefficient, and their masters to be put to unnecessary expense in repairs. An endeavour has been made in this book by means of copious illustrations, to enable the least experienced owner to satisfy himself if his driver is or is not giving the attention which is indispensible for the economical and satisfactory working of a chassis.
