Description: Charles Rolls understood cars - how they were made and how to sell them - but Henry Royce didn't want to design just any car; he was determined to create the best car in the world. The meeting of these two great minds, 110 years ago this year, resulted in one of the most iconic feats of engineering then or indeed since: The Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. Critic and car enthusiast Brian Sewell strays from the art world to tell the story of Henry Royce and the creation of the Silver Ghost. Beautifully illustrated and instructive, 'The Best Car in the World' is the perfect book for children and adults alike, a collector's item to keep and to cherish.
