Frequently Asked Questions about Classic Rolls-Royce
Rolls-Royce grew out of a meeting between Charles Rolls and Henry Royce at the Midland Hotel in Manchester, England, on May 4, 1904. Rolls agreed to sell all the cars Royce could make, and the first Rolls-Royce car was made before the end of that year. The company itself, Rolls-Royce Limited, was registered on March 15, 1906, to take over manufacture of the cars from Royce's own firm, Royce Ltd.
Bentley and Rolls-Royce are separate companies today, but they were one business for most of the 20th century. Rolls-Royce acquired Bentley in 1931. After World War II both marques were built at the same factory in Crewe, England, and the Bentley T-series was a badge-engineered version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. The two were separated after the car business was sold in 1998, with Rolls-Royce leaving Crewe for a new owner in 2003.
BMW owns Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and Volkswagen owns Bentley. The Rolls-Royce car business was spun off from the aero-engine company in 1973, bought by Vickers in 1980 and sold to Volkswagen in 1998. BMW then paid $66 million to Rolls-Royce plc, the aero-engine company that held the trademark, for the rights to the name. BMW took control of the Rolls-Royce marque in 2003, and Volkswagen kept Bentley and the Crewe factory.
Classic Rolls-Royce cars were built at three main factories in England. Production started in Manchester and moved to a new factory at Nightingale Road, Derby, which was formally opened on July 9, 1908. In 1946 car production moved to Crewe, a plant set up to build aircraft engines, where the Silver Cloud and Silver Shadow were later assembled. Since 2003 Rolls-Royce cars have been built at Goodwood, England.
Yes, Rolls-Royce built cars in Springfield, Massachusetts, from 1921 to 1931. According to BMW Group Classic, the American factory was set up to avoid import duties and transportation costs. It produced Silver Ghost and Phantom I models, and Rolls-Royce acquired the American coachbuilder Brewster during that period. Published totals differ slightly, with 2,944 and 2,946 cars both cited. Production ended in 1931 during the Depression.
The Spirit of Ecstasy is the mascot figure of a woman carried on the hood of Rolls-Royce cars. Sculptor and illustrator Charles Sykes created it after Claude Johnson, the company's managing director, asked him for an official Rolls-Royce mascot, and it dates from February 1911. Rolls-Royce describes the figure as believed to be based on Eleanor Thornton, who was also the model for another Sykes mascot called The Whisper.
The Silver Ghost was the Rolls-Royce 40/50 hp, launched in 1906 with a 7,036 cc six-cylinder engine that grew to 7,428 cc from 1910. The name first belonged to a single car, chassis 60551, which covered 15,000 miles in a 1907 reliability run. It was later applied to every 40/50 hp. Rolls-Royce says the car's performances secured the Silver Ghost's reputation as "the best car in the world."
The Silver Shadow, launched in 1965, was the first Rolls-Royce built with unitary construction instead of a body on a separate chassis. Its monocoque body was made by Pressed Steel, and the car used a high-pressure hydraulic self-leveling system licensed from Citroën. Early cars had the 6.2-liter V8 carried over from the Silver Cloud. A Bentley version called the T-series was sold alongside it, and the Silver Shadow II arrived in 1977.
