Rolls-Royce celebrates 110th anniversary

The British automotive brand celebrated its 110th anniversary with pomp on May 4. Charles Royce and Henry Rolls met for the first time exactly on this day 110 years ago, and agreed to form a motoring company.

The celebrations took place at the Goodwood Motor Circuit in West Sussex and at The Midland Hotel, Manchester. Three very special contemporary Rolls-Royce motor cars – Wraith, Phantom Coupé and Ghost – were displayed at the ‘Supercar Sunday’ Breakfast Club meeting at the Goodwood Motor Circuit. The cars were hosted by a team of Rolls-Royce employees. The event saw the display of 1,000 cars inside the circuit, and a turn up of more than 14,000 visitors.

A 2014 Rolls-Royce Phantom joined more than 30 heritage Rolls-Royces on display outside the Midland Hotel in Manchester. The event was hosted by the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club.
