Brand History
The Rolls-Royce Story
Engineer Henry Royce and aristocrat car dealer Charles Rolls joined forces in 1904 and incorporated Rolls-Royce Limited in 1906; the 1907 Silver Ghost earned the title 'best car in the world'. The car business separated from the aero-engine company in 1973, and since 2003 BMW has built Rolls-Royces at Goodwood, reviving the marque to record sales with the Phantom, Ghost and Cullinan.
