The Rolls-Royce precision Lathe

Designed and built by Rolls-Royce in 1948 and in immaculate condition. The company found that in those early post war years they were unable to source a lather that wsa good enough and built three of their own. This lather was bought by it’s designer from Rolls-Royce when it was no longer needed.
This is the only one to survive. It was known in R-R at the Cy lathe
after the designer Mr. Clay.
It is complete with a copy of the original blueprint and all the provenance.

Rolls-Royce and Bentley radiator mascots

I do have a collection of mascots, for 20 h.p., Silver Ghost ( 1924 ), Phantom11, Silver Cloud and most models since then. ( Not New Phantom ).

Rolls-Royce toolroom wooden boxes

II do have an assortment of these charming wooden boxes that were installed in the Crewe Rolls-Royce and Bentley factory at the outset of the war. They vary in size and condition but are very nice to have in your garage, workshop or even on the desk for those writing accoutrements.
Bentley Motors ( VW ) have replaced them with stainless steel and plastic boxes.

Rolls-Royce long service presentation awards

Employees who completed 25 years service with Rolls-Royce used to receive from the company a nice ashtray, a red book containing a letter from the company Chairman and were invited to a celebration luncheon. It is no longer thought appropraite to give an ashtray as a reward but they were a nice piece treasured by recipients and families. Occasionally, one becomes available like the one shown, sometimes they even crop up without the individuals name

Mounted presentation pieces, Rolls-Royce and Bentley

My friend Frank worked all his life in the Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motors Crewe factory in the woodworking shop. He made the dashboards etc for all the cars. Frank has appeared in many factory publications and films, his was the bench that the tour guides would stop at when they were showing V.I.P.s around the plant. Even after his retirement, Frank has made special presentation pieces for the factory, the Rolls-Royce Club and sometimes for friends.

Rolls-Royce Corniche 11 1988, 51,000 miles

This car has a whole host of extra features such as alloy road wheels, veneered door panels, vanity boxes, tracker, etc It has a superb service history and recently attended the Rolls-Royce and Bentley Service Clinic, organised by the Crewe company, where they found only the slightest faults, all rectified of course. The car has, during February 2004 had a new blue mohair hood fitted. It looks super !

Rolls-Royce bronze display statue, Flying Lady, Spirit of Ecstasy
I do have a LARGE 22 inch tall true bronze statue on a black round marble base. These were generally displayed in Rolls-Royce
dealer’s showrooms, this is not an original 1910 example but recent. This is IDENTICAL to the one sold be Sothebys in their last dedicated Rolls-Royce and Bentley auction, it made about £1,600.

I will show you pictures of three signs that I have, these would look wonderful on your garage wall ! You will be able to see more pictures of them and a detailed description by using the link that follows these three shots.

Rolls-and Bentley Leather covers for check books, diary inserts, notebook inserts.
The Crewe factory encouraged dealers to give to their favoured Rolls-Royce and Bentley best clients a gift at Christmas in the form of one of these silk lined beautiful covers.

Of course there are other cars....
This is a rare MG model is a 1500 TF from 1955 which has been in the family for about 24 yrs. Regstration number 1500 TF !

Rolls-Royce tea and coffee mugs !
I don’t know whether or not it was the proximity of the factory to the ! Potteries “ in Staffordshire or not, but the company were heavily into mugs !

These are self adhesive rear quarter panel badges, I do however have plenty of similar badges, tell me what size and quantity you need.

Medals,

I have two stainless steel letter openers, these were made at the Rolls-Royce Crewe factory in 1980. The medals were given to employees in both 1953 to mark QE11s Coronation and again in 1993 to mark the end of R-R production at Crewe. The First Day Postage Covers ( FDCs ). Were also given to employees.

I do have all sorts of “ odds and ends ” to do with Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Flags, street signs from the Crewe works, old price lists, the display boards that were in front of AX 201 and SU 13, a 1920s dress for the lady etc.
