Description
A unique and personal account of young designer’s journey after joining that most prestigious of marques, Rolls-Royce. Sometimes eccentric, often humorous, the workings of this uniquely British institution during a period of immense change are described in detail. Generously supported by previously unseen illustrations, the author’s story, from designer to Chief Stylist, pulls back the curtain concealing an idiosyncratic institution, motivated as much by pride, as the bottom-line.
Covers the period 1971-2001, and RR Silver Shadow, RR Corniche, RR Camargue, RR Silver Spirit (and variants), Bentley Continental R (and variants), RR Silver Seraph (and variants), RR Corniche 2000.
