This elegant book is about those cars which, because of their engineering excellence, their reputation, or their beauty, have been cherished by royalty, the nobility, and the rich since the early days of the motor car. Well known motoring personalty, John Bolster, is in a particularly good position to write about these upper-crust cars since he has had the good fortune to drive nearly all of them, from the immortal 60 hp Mercedes to the Hispano-Suiza, from Rolls-Royce's Silver Ghost to their new, fabulously expensive Camargue. The artist's drawings make the technical points clear and many photographs and coloured illustrations bring these great cars to life.
