In 1884,
Frederick Henry Royce started an electrical and mechanical business. He made his
first car, a "Royce", in his Manchester factory in 1904. He was introduced to
Charles Stewart Rolls at the Midland Hotel in Manchester on May 4 of that year,
and the pair agreed to a deal where Royce would manufacture cars, to be sold
exclusively by Rolls. A clause was added to the contract stipulating the cars
would be called "Rolls-Royce". The company was formed on March 15, 1906, and
moved to Derby in 1908.
The Silver
Ghost (1906-1925) was responsible for the company's early reputation. It had a
6-cylinder engine; 6173 cars were built. In 1921, the company opened a second
factory in Springfield, Massachusetts (in the United States to help meet
demand), where a further 1701 "Springfield Ghosts" were built. This factory
operated for 10 years, closing in 1931. Its chassis was used as a basis for the
first British armoured car used in both world wars.
