When is Rolls-Royce not Rolls-Royce?

In Rolls Royce, Short Cuts by Jonathan Humphrey

It has always bothered me how much Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is confused with Rolls-Royce Plc.

 
Some recent allegations of bribery and legal settlements reached by Rolls-Royce Plc, has necessitated Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, a totally different company to make a statement following this confusion.

So just to confirm to all Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is totally separate and a wholly owned company of BMW. As you know, they make the best super-luxury automobiles in the World. They are based in Goodwood, and their business is completely unlike Rolls-Royce Plc who make really big stuff, jet engines for aircraft, ships or land applications.

Hopefully, that has cleared that up, once are for all and we can leave them to get on what they do best build the finest premium-fantastic cars.

The company has just recently announced their second highest annual sales over the luxury marques 113-year history, up 6% on last year. Delivering a total of 4011 new cars in 50 countries to their discerning owners. Not bad in a year that was challenging for luxury goods throughout the planet.

From the inception of the marque 113 years ago, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has stood alone in serving the world’s wealthy and influential an exquisite blank canvas from which to express their tastes, lifestyles and passions.Today, practically every motor car that leaves the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, England is Bespoke. What follows is a small snapshot of some of 2016’s finest examples of Bespoke design and craftsmanship.Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
