We have had a Rolls Royce Sales Brochure made available to us. It dates from 1905 and is about the same size a a postcard. We have scanned it and want to share it with the world: it’s over 100 years old and relates to an age of motoring that we don’t appreciate these days. Here are just a few random quotes you can find in the brochure.
“The Power: It is transmitted from the engine to the back wheels by simple gear wheels running in oil: CHAINS, with all their objectionable features of noise, wear and tear, etc. have been ABOLISHED.”
“The Brakes: Are independent, extremely powerful, act EITHER FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS, and do not rattle.”
“It is not necessary to employ a skilled and expensive CHAUFFEUR. The mechanism of the “R&R” car, as already explained, is so simple that the merest novice can learn it throughout in a few hours”
The owner recently had it valued on the BBC Antiques Roadshow.
Part 1 of 2 can be downloaded and viewed at your leisure here : Rolls Royce Sales Brochure 1905. You can save it to your computer by right-clicking on the link and “save as …”
