Henry Royce was an engineer who believed in the highest standards and a quest for perfection. His first car did not satisfy those precise and exacting standards and so, in 1904, he endeavoured to create his own, market-leading engine for the burgeoning automotive industry. Car dealer, Charles Rolls, was so greatly impressed that he sought to become the exclusive dealer of Royce’s cars which would be sold from his London business to the most discerning customers. In 1906, Rolls-Royce was born and their legacy would be forever determined and, today, Rolls Royce cars are still recognised as the ultimate status symbol, the pinnacle of automotive engineering and a byword for luxury.
