All models are featured in chronological order, with sidebars providing additional information about the personalities involved, buying tips, specifications and production figures. Coverage includes the Silver Wraiths, Silver Dawns and Phantoms of the 1946 to 1955 and the absorption of Bentley; the Silver Shadow introduced in 1965; bankruptcy of the car and aero engine company in 1971; the Corniche, Camargue and Phantom (1959 to 1995), and the Silver Spirit, Silver Spur and Silver Dawn (1980 to 1998); and the use of a BMW engine in the 1998 Silver Seraph and the convoluted acquisition of the trademark by the German company.

The winged 'B' emblem, the hallmark of Bentley Motors, is synonymous with those grand cars which in the 1920s and 30s dominated Brooklands and Le Mans. Malcolm Bobbitt recalls Bentley development in the late 1930s and early 1940s which led to the introduction in 1946 of the Mark VI, a fine car embodying the luxuries and qualities of its predecessors.

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 his position as designer to Chief Stylist, pulls back the curtain concealing an idiosyncratic institution, motivated as much by pride as the bottom-line.

The new cars were the first from Rolls-Royce to feature monocoque (chassisless) construction, independent suspension and four wheel disc brakes. Both cars shared the same general specification and design, and both would remain in production until 1980.

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.
