The Rolls-Royce Collector

|
My experiences with the Rolls-Royce motor trade are fairly limited, however I have uncle who resides in the United Kingdom who retired a few years ago from the trade. He used to be the chief executive of a Rolls-Royce car dealership in the North of England for many years. In his attic he has a collection of all sorts of R-R literature, books, handbooks and memorabilia. Some of these items are available for sale and would be of great interest to the avid Rolls-Royce collector.
