Five Stars great book and very details. JAM said Rolls-Royce and Bentley: The Crewe Years (Rolls-Royce and Bentley: The Crewe Years (3rd edition) This is a book for the true enthusiast, written by a knowledgeable and clearly infatuated one.

Excellent resource for the RR / Bentley enthusiast Though probably not for the casual reader, this rare book is an outstanding historical reference to two of the most famous automakers in the world. There are many photos (mostly black/white) that could not have been easy to unearth that represent all post-WWII Rolls Royce and Bentley cars up to and including the final 2002 Corniche that was built at Crewe, though I wish there was a feature on the 2000-2001 Park Ward. Nevertheless, not an easy book to find but highly recommended.
