In the 1950s, the UK was the world’s leading car exporter, had the second largest car-making industry and was home to some of the most iconic car manufacturers we still know and love today.
Two of those extraordinary names are Rolls Royce and Bentley, who between them, boast over 200 years of experience spanning from the early 20th century to this present day. Their journey has taken them from early innovative leaders to the high-class luxury manufacturers we all recognise them as now.
It’s with great excitement that we’ll be sharing a little bit of history with our Members next week, in the form of a 1955 Rolls Royce and a 1959 Bentley, both equally as stunning.
