Publisher's Synopsis
Charles Rolls understood cars - how they were made and how to sell them - but Henry Royce didn't want to design just any car; he was determined to create the best car in the world. The meeting of these two great minds resulted in one of the most iconic feats of engineering then or indeed since: the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. Critic and car enthusiast Brian Sewell strays from the art world to tell the story of Henry Royce and the creation of the Silver Ghost.
