An Early Rolls Royce

On a visit to the Manchester Science and Industry Museum, we were drawn to the exhibit on Rolls Royce.

In particular, we were very excited to see one of the very first Rolls-Royce motorcars ever built. Dating back to 1905, this very special classic car is one of only three built and is believed to have been owned and driven by Henry Royce himself before it was eventually sold in 1906.

It was a great experience to see this stunning car up close and to see one of the first cars that led to Rolls-Royce being the well-known car manufacturer that it is today.

Henry Royce certainly took what he said and built his company around it:

“Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!
