Taylor, James, 1950 October 28-2021
Books
The Rolls-Royce company acquired Bentley Motors in 1931 and, although models continued to be produced with the Bentley name, they increasingly used many Rolls-Royce components. By the time the Silver Cloud and Bentley S were released in 1955, they were really differently badged versions of the same design. Yet the sporting tradition of the Bentley marque was upheld with the exotic Continental models that were derived from them. The Silver Cloud family represents a pinnacle for the Rolls-Royce company. This book features: the story of the design and development of the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and Bentley S Type; a look at the production development of these cars between 1955 and 1965; an examination of the Bentley Continental models that were derived from Silver Cloud and S Type design; the history of the Phantom V and Phantom VI limousine chassis introduced in 1959 and destined to last until 1990.
