Simmons of Mayfair. Two large volumes of monochrome photographs depicting the rolling stock of this significant pre-used retail company. Both books containing approximately 140 photographs of Bentley and Rolls-Royce cars, most about 8 x 4-inches, and tipped-in, most with either typed and manuscript captions, to include the name of the coachbuilder and model type. The company was founded by a Mr Simmons circa 1950, their first advertisements appearing in Motor Sport from April 1950, and The Times in October 1954. Operating from 12 Rex Place and other venues, the company was deregistered in 1980. A typed biography of the company is pasted to the fly leaf in each book. The bindings now a little loose and frayed, but generally sound. (2)
