THE SECRET OF SUCCESSFUL RUNNING. The complete Manufacturers Service-Handbook to almost every Rolls-Royce and Bentley of the Fifties. ...It is strongly recommended that this book be carefully studied, and the instructions carefully followed, to ensure the greatest satisfaction...

THE SECRET OF SUCCESSFUL RUNNING. Examination of privately-owned cars has demonstrated that while some drivers realise the necessity of periodical lubrication of all moving parts, others, who have not been trained as mechanics, content themselves by oiling the parts which come immediately under their eye, and ne-glect other parts, thus allowing the chassis to be injured, to become noisy and inefficient, and their masters to be put to unnecessary expense in repairs. An endeavour has been made in this book by means of copious illustrations, to enable the least experienced owner to satisfy himself if his driver is or is not giving the attention which is indispensible for the economical and satisfactory working of a chassis. First issued January, 1911 (reprinted June, 1920)

Have you ever dreamed of taking a road trip in a Rolls-Royce? Although that dream is out of reach for most of us, with this book, you almost can―and with an enchanting twist. John Kennedy’s book is built around an album of photographs that were taken in May and June 1913 as famed English aviator James Radley drove his Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost from London to Vienna as part of the famous Österreichische Alpenfahrt, a grueling route that required drivers to traverse 1,650 miles―and nineteen mountain passes―in a mere seven days.             Remarkably, both the car and the photo album survived, which allowed photographer John Kennedy to re-create the entire journey a century later―and re-take the photographs in the identical locations. The resulting book is truly unique: a record of time and change, of mountainous beauty and motoring enthusiasm, and, of course, of the never-ending allure of a Rolls-Royce.
