Informative on the use of the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost chassis being used to develop the first armoured cars. An area of interest to me, as it forms another side of the use of this iconic vehicle, which is a legend in the history of motoring. The book is easy to read,but brief. Well written but quality of the publication is only fair, would benefit from better binding,paper and a hard cover rather than the soft format on the copy purchased. The quality of the actual physical book is not in the same league as other books on Rolls Royce purchased in the past by me. But never the less a good read and interesting book for those interested in vintage Rolls Royce motor cars
Excellent short history about the development of the armoured car. This idea of a armoured car was developed by Commander Charles R Samson RN and his brother Felex in 1914, when they were based at Dunkirk in the early days of the First World War. Those first few privately owned cars was the catalyst for reconnaissance vehicle, combined with the ability to protect themselves from attack. This reference book includes the full history and development of the Rolls Royce armoured car and where they fought during the First World War, until the early beginnings of the Second World War. Lots of black and white images taken from original photographs of the day. Combined with some beautiful artistic coloured impressions plates, including their unit badge and insignia identification that they belonged to.Read full review
