History of Rolls Royce
The history of Rolls Royce dates back to the early 20th century. In 1904, Charles Rolls and Henry Royce partnered to manufacture luxury cars. The first car produced by the company was the Rolls Royce 10 hp, unveiled at the Paris Salon in 1904. This was the first car to carry the Rolls Royce name and it was an immediate success.
In 1906, the company introduced the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, which became one of the most famous and successful cars in the world. It was known for its smooth ride, reliability and craftsmanship, and it set the standard for luxury cars for many years.
During World War I, Rolls Royce focused on producing engines for aeroplanes and tanks. After the war, the company returned to the production of luxury cars, introducing new models such as the Phantom and the Wraith.
In the 1930s, Rolls Royce introduced the Phantom II, which was the last car to be designed by Henry Royce before his death. This model was considered one of the finest luxury cars of its time.
During World War II, the company again focused on producing engines for military vehicles. After the war ended, Rolls Royce continued to produce luxury cars, introducing new models such as the Silver Cloud and the Phantom V.
In the 1960s, the company was acquired by Vickers and, in the 1970s, the company was nationalised and became Rolls Royce Motors Limited. In the 1980s, the company was privatised and sold to Vickers again.
Later, in 2003, the company was sold to BMW. The current models produced by Rolls Royce are developed, engineered and manufactured by BMW but it still maintains its distinct identity and heritage.
