Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1900, aged twenty-two, Charles Stewart Rolls was the best known motorist in Britain, better known than Jeremy Clarkson today, having won the 'Thousand Mile Trial' of that year, the event that launched motoring as a practical popular concept. Rolls followed his success in the Trial by racing in highly dangerous inter-city races in Europe. He drove the fastest time ever achieved in Britain although this was never ratified. At the same time Rolls ran a large car-sales and service showroom in London, employing seventy staff with space for two hundred cars. In the space of six months he persuaded the secretary of the Automobile Society of Great Britain & Ireland to join him and then, shortly after, discovered Henry Royce with whom his name is now forever linked. This triumvirate of talented engineers and businessmen took Rolls-Royce Ltd. to the pinnacle of motor and aero engineering that the company has occupied ever since. Rolls helped create the new sport of hot-air ballooning and raced his balloon for his country. He then joined a select band of intrepid pioneers who risked all to prove the theory of powered flight. He was first to fly the English Channel both ways but weeks later perished at Bournemouth Air Show. Engineer, salesman, aristocrat, pioneer and businessman, Charles Rolls offers us a timely reminder of British invention, courage and ingenuity a hundred years ago.

Book excerpt: Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it. Sir Henry Royce and Charles Rolls, the founders of Rolls-Royce, settled for nothing but perfection. The above quotation from Henry Royce still guides the brand to this day. And the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars publication is adorned with the first sentence of this guiding principle in large silver letters. The publication will bring together the brand s unique history, which spans more than a century, and modern-day developments. It will draw attention to the Spirit of Ecstasy. The 100th anniversary of the legendary figure, which graces the bonnet of every single Rolls-Royce ever made, served as the occasion for renowned British celebrity photographer Rankin to produce an enthralling 100-piece photo series. The images constitute artistic and often highly personal interpretations of the brand s iconic emblem. "
