The RREC, or the International Club for Rolls-Royce and Bentley Enthusiasts, stands as a renowned global organization that brings together owners of Rolls-Royce and Bentley marques. Since its establishment in 1957, the club has curated an exclusive collection and archive, housing a vast library of Rolls-Royce build records from the company’s inception in 1904 to the present day. The archive also includes chassis cards and construction and test records for over 100,000 Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars. The legacy of Sir Henry Royce is honored and advanced by the Sir Henry Royce Memorial Foundation (SHRMF), which is closely linked to the RREC. Formed in 1977, the foundation upholds Sir Henry’s values of engineering excellence and nurtures young talent to pursue careers that embody craftsmanship and the pursuit of perfection.
In line with the RREC’s commitment to delivering first class information about Rolls-Royce and Bentley, St James’s House has crafted a beautifully presented handmade book celebrating 20 years of Goodwood, a proponent of sustainable luxury. Sustainable luxury looks beyond merely attaching an eco-friendly label to a premium product; it integrates sustainability into the product’s essence. True luxury has always been sustainable, demanding exceptional creativity, design, and quality materials for enduring excellence and the ethos of “less is more.” St James’s House collaborates closely with their print partners to ensure the book meets the highest sustainability standards. The book, authored by renowned experts, showcases a range of luxury brands worldwide that share these fundamental values.Action Aviation is honored to be featured as one of these brands and takes pride in supporting “Strive for Perfection: Celebrating 20 years of Goodwood,” an official publication by the International Club for Rolls-Royce and Bentley Enthusiasts.
