Product Description
Product Description
In 1922, Rolls-Royce introduced their new 20hp model, known as the Twenty - the first in a series of what are now called the 'Small Horsepower' cars. The Twenty was replaced in 1930 by the 20/25 with a slightly larger 3.7-liter engine and then, as coachwork grew inexorably heavier, by the 4.25-liter 25/30 in 1936. The last of the pre-War cars was the Wraith, only made in 1939. This title describes: Rolls-Royce up to 1920; The Twenty; The 20/25; The 25/30; The Wraith; On the Road Then; On the Road Now; and, Specifications and Appendices. This is the first and last book the Rolls-Royce enthusiast or owner will need. Specially commissioned color photography of nine preserved examples showing variations in coachwork and body styles through the period. The author has a reputation for digging interesting stories out of the archives - in this case the Rolls-Royce board meeting minutes and company memos.

Small HP R-R Cars
9 Jan 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a comprehensive and detailed account of the range of small HP cars manufactured by Rolls-Royce between the wars. It outlines the development and testing of these cars as well as technical descriptions of the running gear, engine and transmission for the various models. It documents all the changes made with many colour and black and white photographs. It's an ideal book for the existing owner wanting to learn more about their car, or for prospective owners looking for advice on what to purchase with tips on preservation and pitfalls. Highly readable and recommended.
