Founding Fathers<br />
On 4th May 1904 the brilliant<br />
northern engineer Frederick Henry<br />
<strong>Royce</strong> met with a young aristocratic<br />
car salesman the Honourable<br />
Charles Stewart <strong>Rolls</strong> and agreed to<br />
start a company. The unlikely duo<br />
decided that <strong>Royce</strong> would design and<br />
manufacture the cars and <strong>Rolls</strong>, with<br />
his wealthy connections, would sell<br />
them. The vehicles would be called<br />
<strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong>.
Since the production of the very first<br />
vehicle, <strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong> has built the<br />
very best motor cars of their time,<br />
becoming the classics of today. The<br />
21st century <strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong> had to be<br />
worthy of a new century. In January<br />
2003, the <strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong> Phantom Saloon<br />
arrived, it was a momentous occasion<br />
in automobile history.
The <strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong> Phantom Saloon at the Villa D’Este, Italy.
Phantom Saloon<br />
The <strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong> Phantom Saloon<br />
is very much a British production.<br />
The design was developed in <strong>London</strong><br />
at studios code-named ‘The Bank’<br />
after the building’s previous function;<br />
many of the designers and engineers<br />
are British, and the car rolls off the<br />
production line at the purpose-built<br />
Goodwood facility in Sussex.
The design team set out to ensure the<br />
Phantom is every inch a <strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong>,<br />
a long wheelbase and bonnet, short<br />
front overhang, large wheels and a<br />
presence which is both confident and<br />
imposing.<br />
The use of advanced aluminium space<br />
frame for the body/chassis unit has<br />
meant rigidity on a scale for a car<br />
of the Phantom’s size and weight is<br />
unequalled.
Powered by the mighty V12 6.75-litre<br />
engine producing 453bhp and 531<br />
lb ft of torque, the Phantom Saloon<br />
takes just 5.7 seconds to reach 60mph<br />
and will continue to an electronically<br />
limited top speed of 149mph.<br />
With cues taken from the past but<br />
a truly contemporary design, the<br />
Phantom is indeed a modern classic.<br />
This perfectly proportioned<br />
<strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong> is perfect for the<br />
owner and, indeed, driver of today.<br />
A luxurious cabin is combined with<br />
the ‘waftability’ of driving or being<br />
driven in a true <strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong>.

100EX<br />
<strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong> Motor Cars Limited<br />
unveiled its most recent experimental<br />
car, the 100EX, at the Geneva Motor<br />
Show in 2004.<br />
A 9-litre V16, 64 valve engine throbbed<br />
at the heart of the open-top, fourseater,<br />
two-door drophead.<br />
In 1919 the 1EX, based on the Silver<br />
Ghost chassis, was the first in a long<br />
line of EX cars which spanned almost<br />
40 years and ended with the 45EX<br />
in 1958. Many of the EX cars went<br />
into full production as will a modified<br />
version of the 100EX.
The <strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong> 100EX Centenary Experimental Car.
<strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong> Motor Cars Limited - The Company<br />
When the new company came into<br />
being, a factory was needed to create<br />
the new car. The Goodwood facility<br />
in the 42-acre grounds of the Earl of<br />
March’s famous Goodwood Estate,<br />
which has its own motor racing<br />
heritage, was ideal.<br />
It’s hard to believe that a centre of<br />
engineering and technical excellence<br />
exists in such peaceful surroundings,<br />
the factory blending effortlessly with<br />
the natural surroundings which include<br />
landscaped gardens and a causeway<br />
spanning a peaceful lake.
<strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong>’s Goodwood facility in Sussex.
The roof lines have been kept low<br />
allowing the facility to blend in with<br />
its surroundings. Part of the building<br />
has been built below ground and<br />
by covering the exposed roof with<br />
sedum plants, it changes colour with<br />
the seasons. However this is not just<br />
aesthetic as it also acts as insulation.<br />
Other environmentally friendly<br />
touches can be found throughout<br />
the site, the lakes cool the building’s<br />
air supply, and make up part of the<br />
facility’s drainage, whilst glass walls<br />
provide so much natural light that<br />
artificial lighting is kept at a minimum.
The Phantom Saloon makes several<br />
stops on its journey through the<br />
Goodwood factory.<br />
The facility itself is a fascinating mix<br />
of state-of-the-art technology and<br />
old fashioned craftsmanship. Specialist<br />
craftsman and women work alongside<br />
and in harmony with some of the<br />
world’s most sophisticated equipment.
In the wood workshop, the Phantom’s<br />
bespoke interior begins to take on<br />
its very own character. The finest<br />
veneers cover 1.7 square metres<br />
of the cars interior, this intricate<br />
woodwork is undertaken by the 29<br />
skilled experts who take as long as<br />
30 days to produce all the separate<br />
wooden elements required.
Inside the <strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong> Phantom Saloon is pure luxury.
The same high levels of skill and<br />
attention to detail are found in the<br />
leather workshop where handpicked<br />
hides arrive from a specialist tannery.<br />
Many of the expert leather workers<br />
and seamstresses were sailmakers and<br />
saddlers before joining the company<br />
and their craftsmanship is obvious.<br />
We strongly recommend that our<br />
customers experience the Goodwood<br />
factory and all its customer facilities<br />
for themselves, an experience that we<br />
are more than happy to arrange.
<strong>Rolls</strong>-<strong>Royce</strong> craftsmen and women hand pick and hand finish the marketry veneer.
