Rolls-Royce Limited

Consumer Discretionary

Rolls-Royce Limited was the original Rolls-Royce company, formed by Charles Rolls and Henry Royce in Manchester and incorporated in 1906. It built the Silver Ghost, the Phantom series and the Silver Cloud and Silver Shadow cars at its Derby and later Crewe factories, and it grew into a major maker of aero engines. The cost of developing the RB211 jet engine drove it into liquidation in 1971, after which the government took over the engine business and the car side went its own way as Rolls-Royce Motors.
