Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud 1955-1966 by Michel Leneveu Pdf

Jamais un constructeur n'aura autant marqué de son empreinte l'histoire de l'automobile que Rolls-Royce. Légende vivante, la marque traverse toutes les modes depuis un siècle, sans prendre une ride. Motoriste hors du commun, que ce soit pour les mélodieux six-cylindres en ligne ou les V8 de ses somptueuses automobiles ou pour les avions Boeing ou Airbus, Rolls-Royce étonne aussi par l'originalité de son histoire. Son Ecole des chauffeurs, sa sculpturale mascotte Flying Lady qui trône au bout du capot moteur, son Rallye-Concours, rendez-vous annuel incontournable et son Club d'Enthousiasts, font partie de la légende. Cet ouvrage présente l'histoire et les caractéristiques techniques des différents modèles et études de style de la Silver Cloud, voiture emblématique après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, qui a été déclinée en trois versions entre 1955 et 1966. Distinguée, élégante, raffinée, épurée, séduisante, les adjectifs ne manquent pas pour caractériser la fascinante Cloud. Elle ne roule pas, elle glisse... silencieuse.. Voyage en 1e classe assuré !

Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud - The Complete Story by James Taylor Pdf

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 Silver Cloud & Bentley by R.M. Clarke Pdf

The first Silver Cloud and S-type models were introduced in 1955 and the last one built was some 11 years later. Starting with a disadvantage in having a separate chassis and body when monocoque construction was gaining ground they lagged behind other manufacturers. Nevertheless they drove extremely well and ran without failure for many thousands of miles. The majority had standard steel coachwork which was very elegant while specialist coachbuilders were able to create their magic for those fortunate enough to afford it. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, specification and technical data, road impressions, used cars on the road, buyers datafile, touring. Models include: Silver Cloud, S-Series, Continental, Limousine, Silver Cloud II, III, S2, S2LWB.

Coachwork on Rolls-Royce and Bentley, 1945 - 1965 by James Taylor Pdf

Rolls-Royce and Bentley relied upon standardised body designs after 1945, but for the next two decades both marques also supplied chassis frames separately, and it was possible to have these clothed with coachwork by bespoke coachbuilders like, for example, Mulliner, Park Ward and James Young in Britain, or Graber, Farina and Franay in Europe. Many buyers took this route, and this highly illustrated book bears witness to the wide variety of styles that were built in this fascinating period. Chassis number lists for each coachbuilder, both in Britain and overseas, identify their creations, to make this a comprehensive and essential companion for anyone interested in Rolls-Royce and Bentley in the postwar era. Coachwork on Rolls-Royce and Bentley, 1945-1965 joins the author’s recent work Coachwork on Derby Bentleys 1933-1940 in our list.

The Fate of the Sleeping Beauties by Kay Hottendorff,Ard op de Weegh Pdf

"Say "Sleeping Beauties" to committed car enthusiasts and they will immediately know what you're talking about: a world famous 1980s photo series, showing an extraordinary collection of classical automobiles rusting away in a French barn, neglected by their owner. Famous brands like Bugatti, Lancia, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Cord and Aston Martin, laying under thick layers of dust, spending their remaining days falling apart in isolation. Many have tried to find out what happened to these cars over the last twenty-five years - decayed? destroyed? sold? - but all leads fizzled out ... until two Dutchmen and a German hung on where others had given up. In true Boy's Own style, their book tells of the three-year-long search for the fate of the cars from that French barn. It tells the story behind the collection's origins in 1948, through the moment in 1983 when the famous photos were published, up to the day in 2007 when the authors talked to the current 79 year old owner - a man who finally broke his silence about the fate of his collection for the first time in 25 years."--Publisher description.
