Before it made its mark as one of the top car manufacturing companies in the world, Rolls and Royce where two different people, from two different walks of life who met and started the history of the famous car brand and created the first set of Rolls-Royce for sale.
Charles Stewart Rolls was born in August 21,1987 in London. He was the third son of John Allan Rolls who was the 1st Baron Llangattock. He belonged to a rich family who had so much land and other properties. Despite his financial status, he was known to be very careful in handling his finances as well as managing other resources. For him, everything has always been valuable. He had formal education where he graduated in January 1898 with Class II Ordinary Bachelor of Arts degree by Special Examination in Mechanism and Applied Science in Cambridge University and gained a Master of Arts in 1902. He became interested in motor cars and later on, with the help of his father, he was able to put up a dealership business.
On the other hand, Fredrick Henry Royce was born Alwalton, Huntingdonshire, near Peterborough on March 23, 1827. His Parents were James and Mary Royce and was the youngest among five children.. Opposite to Rolls, Royce came from a poor family. His father came from a family of millers . The business failed which made them decide to move to London. When his father died he was forced to deliver news papers and telegrams at such an early age to help the family. He only had 1 year of formal education. He was able to go for apprenticeship at the local Great Railway works with the financial assistance of his aunt. There came a time that the aunt could not support his education, however he was able to find work as a tool maker and from his earning he went on evening classes to study about electricity. Later on, Royce joined his friend A.H. Claremont and formed F.H. Royce and Co. which produced small electrical items and later on dynamos and cranes. He then was fascinated with motor cars and considered it to be a potential product that his company could make. He was able to create three cars called Royces. One he kept for himself, he gave one to Claremont and the last one was sold to Henry Edmunds.
Henry Edmunds had a showroom in London and was a common friend of Royce and Rolls. Rolls encountered a Royce vehicle in Edmunds’ showroom. Edmunds was responsible for the historical meeting of the two. The history of ever Rolls Royce for sale has began at that point. The partnership became official in 1906. Rolls provided the financial needs to complement Royce’s technical expertise. Royce was into building the cars while Rolls is into selling them. They were a perfect pair.

It is the product of their interest on motor cars and hard work. Over the years, Rolls-Royce made it on top. It has manged to keep its reputation of building the best and most reliable cars.
