Rolls-Royce is one of the most successful luxury cars that money can buy. The brand is well known all over the world. Thanks to its hundred and thirty plus dealerships spread across forty plus nations. But it all started out with a poor kid that had a passion for innovation. When the farm boy Henry Royce first started out tinkering with engines, nobody could have guessed he would one day create some of the most expensive cars in the world. And when he finally met his daredevil companion, history was truly made.
Frederick Henry Royce, the youngest of five children, was born in 1863 in Alwalton, England. His parents, James and Mary, owned and managed a floor mill. After going bankrupt in 1867, the poor Royce family moved to London in search of a better life. Henry, who was four at the time, already had his first job as a bird scarer on a nearby farm. After his father died in 1872, Henry began selling newspapers and delivering telegrams. Henry's childhood poverty had a profound impact on him. He began an apprenticeship with the Great Northern Railway works as a young teenager. Despite his lack of formal education, Henry took advantage of any opportunity to further his education, studying Algebra, French and electrical engineering in his spare time.
Henry worked briefly for a chill making company in Leeds before moving on to the Electric Light and Power Company in London. He moved to Liverpool in 1882 where he continued to work for the Electric Light and Power Company. He founded a company with his engineer friend Ernest Claremont when he was 22 years old. They named it F. H. Royce and Company and worked tireless for the next few years to manufacture electrical components such as doorbells and generators. The company continued to grow and by 1894 they were also producing electric cranes. But Henry's interest started take him somewhere else, and that somewhere else was automobiles.
While Henry Royce plays a vital role in the Rolls-Royce story, we shouldn't forget the contribution of Charles Stewart Rolls. Born in 1877 in London's affluent Berkeley Square, Charles Rolls has studied mechanical engineering at Trinity College in Cambridge. After developing an early interest in engineering, Charles knew how to stand out. He earned the nickname Dirty Rolls due to his reputation for tinkering with engines. Charles began working on a steam yacht after graduating in 1898 and then at the London and Northwestern Railway. However, he was more interested in motoring, pioneering and salesmanship. In 1903, he opened one of the first car dealerships in Britain with financial aid from his father.

Rolls Royce is one of the few luxury brands which justify the price with quality.
