Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> It would be hard to find two men born with the same surname so totally different in circumstance as S.C. Rolls the author of this book, and the Hon. C.S. Rolls of Rolls-Royce fame. The former a lowly-born tough little artisan motor mechanic; the latter the inspired young aristocrat with a passion for motor cars and a Cambridge University engineering degree - who joined F.H. Royce to establish Rolls-Royce in 1904. Sam died, well into his nineties, in a Northampton nursing home, whilst Charles crashed to his death the first Englishman to be killed in a flying accident - in 1910, when only thirty-three. Both achieved lasting fame from their very special relationship with the immortal Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost motor car, which by 1914 had achieved world acclaim and had justly acquired an unsurpassable reputation and the soubriquet 'The Best Car in the World'. Sam Rolls was one of that generation of noble and passionate young patriots who thronged to the recruiting offic.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. The narrative details the author's remarkable wartime experiences after enlisting in the Armoured Car Brigade of the Royal Naval Air Service in 1914. Operating from behind the steering wheel of a heavily modified Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost armoured car, Sam Rolls charts his journeys through the muddy battlefields of Flanders to the arid expanses of North Africa and the Middle East. The text offers an immersive account of combating the Senussi Uprising in Libya alongside the Duke of Westminster, rescuing shipwrecked British sailors, and executing high-speed desert raids alongside Lawrence's Arab irregulars. It serves as a vital historical testament to the rugged durability of early mechanised w.…

soft. Zustand: Near Fine. Illustrated Edition. A cornerstone document from the dawn of British luxury motoring, issued in January 1905 just over a year before the formal incorporation of Rolls-Royce Limited. Preserved in Near Fine, unrestored condition inside an early collector's envelope, this rare priced first-state catalogue details the 15 H.P. and 20 H.P. Rolls-Royce motor-cars, complete with portraits of Charles S. Rolls and Claude Johnson. Publication: London, C. S. Rolls & Co., January 1905 Formatting: 12mo, original staple-bound printed paper wrappers, pp. [12], with vintage manuscript-titled paper envelope. Condition Report: Near Fine. Housed carefully inside an early protective paper envelope inscribed "Rolls Royce Book," this fragile Edwardian pamphlet survives in remarkably crisp, flat, and unrestored condition. The original cream wove wrappers remain bright and structurally sound with sharp corners and vivid red-and-black lettering, showing only gentle, even age-toning, a light mark to the lower front margin, and a minute nick at the foot of the spine fold. Internally, the leaves are fresh, clean, and completely free of foxing or repairs. As is natural for untouched early twentieth-century wire bindings, the original centre-fold staples have oxidised with age, leaving localised rust marks at the gutter, though the binding remains entirely secure and all text and illustrations are crisp and bright throughout. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE & FIRST-STATE RARITY: Issued more than a year prior to the formal incorporation of Rolls-Royce Limited, this foundational promotional brochure captures the exact moment The Hon. Charles S. Rolls and Claude Johnson pivoted from importing Continental Panhard motor-cars to marketing Henry Royce's newly engineered British vehicles under the hyphenated Rolls-Royce name. Crucially, this example is explicitly dated "January, 1905." on the inside front wrapper whilst retaining the printed retail prices for both featured models and their coachwork options. This represents an exceptionally scarce, transitional "first state" printing that predates the standard copies issued for the Olympia Motor Exhibition in February 1905. CONTENTS & SPECIFICATIONS: The twelve pages provide a comprehensive overview of the nascent marque's operations and early engineering. It opens with a full company directory listing the Head Offices & Show-rooms at 14 & 15 Conduit Street, the Branch Office at 28 Brook Street, the Repair Shops at Lillie Hall, Fulham, and the Manchester Works of Messrs. Royce, Ltd., followed by half-tone portrait photographs of The Honourable Charles S. Rolls, M.A. and Claude Johnson offering personal interviews to prospective clients. Subsequent pages detail the scientific construction of the chassis at the Manchester factory, the 15,000-mile testing programme, the silence of the engine and direct drive, the inclusive kit of tools, spare parts, and brass lamps, and the full Terms of Business and three-month guarantee (with cheques payable to "C. S. Rolls and Co." and crossed "Barclay and Co., Ltd."). The final spread features half-tone profile illustrations, specifications, and printed Barker coachwork prices for the three-cylinder 15 H.P. "R-R" Landaulet ("The Ideal lady's carriage for use in town and country") and the four-cylinder 20 H.P. "R-R" Phaeton de Luxe (£650 with side-entrance Tonneau; £695 as illustrated; £60 extra for an extended Brougham Top). TYPOGRAPHICAL AUTHENTICATION: This booklet exhibits all the physical hallmarks of authentic 1905 letterpress production, accompanied by its vintage buff storage envelope. Inspection reveals the crisp physical bite of metal type into the wove paper, pronounced ink squash along the margins of the red and black letterforms, and genuine mechanical artifacts from the live press run, including faint ink offsetting beneath the headers and minor type wear to the "r" in "carburation" on page 6, alongside an authentic, period-correct coarse half-tone dot matrix for the illustrations.
