- Rolls-Royce is a true household name in engineering. A Rolls-Royce is one of the most successful luxury cars that money can buy. And with over 130 dealerships spread over 40 countries, the brand is known all around the globe. Kind of funny considering that it all started out with a poor kid that had a passion for innovation. When 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! Don’t miss this story!

A Poor Miller’s Son Invented The World's Most Expensive CAR | The Story of Rolls-Royce
The quote of Henry Royce that most resonates with me is that "The quality remains long after the price is forgotten". How true
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance- wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
You’re right, the importance of multiple stream of income, unfortunately having a job doesn't mean financial freedom or security
speaking of been successful. I know I am blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Mr Umar basher
@schneider Bruno he has helped me greatly in life
Same here it's four months now I started trading with him, and it's been a good experience
Honestly speaking Umar Basher jadon is a genius
The poor boy now makes us feel like a poor boy-
hehe thats deep
🤣
Underrated comment 😂
😂💀
😂😂
Don't understand
I now grasp the concept of leverage. Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe. Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely.
The first step to wealth creation, is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance - either on your own or with the help of a financial advisor. If you can get the facts about savings and investing with a well detailed plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your income.
You’re right! Working with a financial advisor will genuinely set you up for success in life. I’m delighted I was able to hire a financial advisor named John Desmond Heppolette, earlier this year. Because while others were grumbling about the downturn in the financial markets due to the state of the economy, I was busy learning from him and eventually made over seven figures in the first quarter of the year.
That's great, your financial advisor must be really good, I have seen testimonies of people using the help of financial advisors in making them more financially stable. I just discovered his exceptional resume when I made a google search of his names online. he appears knowledgeable and well accredited. I drop him a message and book a call session with him!
With the help of John Desmond Heppolette, I’ve gained perfectly well from my investment. The quantity of capital you invest, though, ultimately determines everything. With a substantial start-up budget, you could able to end more..
John Desmond Heppolette has been a significant step in my financial life journey, providing valuable knowledge, actionable advice, and motivational content. His supportive community has boosted my confidence, work engagement and has inspired me to strive for excellence. His assistance is a secret weapon for great financial growth, and his online presence is a must-see for anyone looking to improve their financial situation.
This kid started his own company with a friend and it took over 10 whole years just to get the ball rolling! And your crying because you haven’t made it in the first year. What a legend! This serves as great motivation for people😃
you're* Learn to spell before you are condescending.
Hahaha do you want to make 1000 dollars today and 1000 dollars every day from now on. Click on this link and find the loophole to become mega rich
@@dimitriebraila6677 There's that one person in the comment that be correcting people and looking Grammatical error in people's comments.🤣
True
@FeedTheMachine - different times, different government rules, different taxation and so on. Also car manufacturer market wasn't that saturated as it is now. Plenty of options and movement there at that time.
Comparing that to the current time, because they haven't made it in one year is just stupid. Even Bezos at the beginning had other backers, and money from his parents. So was Gates, with his first deal with IBM when he was starting (as his mother was a friend of John Opel - a CEO of IBM at that time). Musk? Hell, nothing like parent owning a Zambian emerald mine.... And so on.
So yeah, people have every right to "cry" about it. This boy wouldn't have made it now without proper backers. Don't get me wrong, he was clever, had a vision - but curently that is rarely enough.
In Manchester, there is a hotel, I think it's the Midland Hotel, that has a plaque on the outside wall entrance. It says that this was the hotel that Mr Rolls and Mr Royce had their first meeting to partner in the business.
I was looking for this comment, otherwise I would have!!! It is and I am a Mancunian...as it happens it has also Hollywood stars and mega pop stars stay there!
It is the Midland Hotel
@@hughgrection4205 Thanks for confirming Hugh :). I was at the hotel years ago. The hotel has a very big conference area that was used by Hawker Siddeley Aviation years ago, for their annual apprentice awards.
Yes that’s right the midland hotel is we’re they held their meeting to found the Rolls-Royce company the hotel itself is iconic building and it’s the oldest hotel in Manchester 120 years old I guess.
@@BeasleyStreet You mean even americans come there?
Watching this brought tears to my eyes, one of the most iconic brand of today came from passion and partnership as Mr. Royce said "if it doesn't exist, design it" very powerful words right there this also show that with education and great determination you fan create a world of endless possibilities that will one day become a legacy. Long lived Mr. Royce and Mr. Rolls.
Same here (not a tear though, but this little tingle). A nice story.
This is really powerful words "if it doesn't exist, design it"
Watching this video made me laugh. I own, and have owned a dozen. Mine were real RR’s, and not some disgusting German knock-off.

They should make a movie about this. Or miniseries.
True
Or a long series
Yes, Definitely
Jude Law looks like he would play the part of Rolls.
When to film of Bio serie?
Henry passed away in 1933 not 1993. Such a genius hardworking man to have ever lived and charles the man to follow his heart all the way.
I caught that mistake too.
I thought I was the only smart one in the room 😂
i caught that too
The narrator thinks this guy lived to be 130 years old
Yeah I heard that as well (though I imagine we all did). I was like, did he really just say that? I had to stop it immediately to click a few seconds back to listen again, although it was quite clear the first time.
Assets that can make you rich
Bitcoin
Stocks
Real estate
You're right , it's obvious a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance, it's better to take risks and make sacrifices than to remain poor
Same here, I wish I knew about this Bitcoin trading earlier, brace up and get yourself some Bitcoin before it's too late
Obviously trading in bitcoin is very volatile and risky to trade that's the reason most traders trade with a company
Learn and trade under a guide I do same and I hardly make losses in the market
Most people venture into crypto currency to be a millionaire meanwhile I just want to be debt free and live comfortably
Such an inspiring story creating an iconic brand. Rolls Royce is the definition of class.
and a teacher
Great things have humble beginnings
Class of 1970, maybe! They have been thoroughly eclipsed by style, speed, and technology, and hang on like some barrell-chested barrister who once drove them. English enginerding is dead on its pale pink legs, the Germans won the war 5 decades late, as soon as the yanks stepped out.
@@bend3rbot Damn Benjy, you dismantled his comment 🥵
Rolls-Royce it spells look at the movie again!
you for got to mention that 60% of every rolls roys car ever build is still on the road. Quiet impressive feat
I heard a story about a guy who broke an axle on his rolls Royce. The company quickly sent their own mechanics to replace it. After the car was repaired he phoned the company to thank them for fixing the axle. The company said: "Rolls Royce axles don't break". 😉
He also asked what the charge was. Well if they don't break....By the way that occurred out in the North African Desert.
The only thing that will break is your bank account imagine the price of maintaining the car
But it broke anyway? 🤔
@@jeshkam WOOOOSH
@@dogerboi ???
My favorite Royce saying shows why the cars are so durable: "Test it until it breaks and then improve what breaks." He had a "torture rack" that would suspend a chassis at the four axle points (where the wheels would normally mount) and then pulse each one on it's own random cam at varying speeds in order to excite every natural frequency in the assembly. He expected his cars to survive at least 18 to 20 hours of this punishment without damage whereas when he put a competitors' car on there it would generally start shedding parts within the first hour. That's one of the reasons the British Army had them build halftracks for desert use during WW I.
Much has changed. In 2013 I bought a brand new Ford F150. Worst vehicle I have ever owned. Nothing but trouble and failures. I think their motto is "Test it until it breaks and that is the part
you use on all vehicles after that." I would hate to put this truck on a torture rack. You would wind up with a pile of broken parts in minutes. I keep thinking that things will get better, but not so. Poorly designed and poorly built.
@@John-oe5nb - This is sad, but not unexpected. Especially sad when you consider that a truck should be de-facto more able to take abuse than a passenger car.
Most people take the lower cost option and every one suffers for it. If we were all quality focused instead of price focused, everything will continue to improve. Most people are oblivious to this.
Any current Rolls owners contest to this? Are they still durable and reliable?
@Aadam Hussain hell yes, thanks for adding to my motivation 👊🏼
When it comes to the world of investing, most people don't know where to start. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance.

I always wanted to drive a Rolls-Royce. So to do so I bought a Silver Shadow MK II and owned it for years and thoroughly enjoyed driving it.
you sold it off?
Its crazy that Charles had the idea to make aero engines but Henry refused because today, Rolls Royce actually make most of the engines for private jets and a few commercial jets.
Rolls were making aircraft engines in WW2, probably forced to by the British government at the time.
Now they are 2 separate companies. The cars are made by BMW and they have nothing in common anymore.
@@t2216 no they are not.. cars are still made in coventry,GB
@@tortillawrapper5454 yes know but rolls royce aviaton engine company is totally different enteprice and has nothing to do with motorcar company that is owned by BMW. Bmw only bought the name and factory of motorcar rolls

What a great story! I wish the makers of this story would mention more about the aviation side of the company and how the Rolls Royce Merlin engine help the Allies win the Second World War.
Exactly, especially considering the aerospace division of RR is far more significant and more valuable than the automotive division.
ua-cam.com/video/uPIrb7RAFGQ/v-deo.html
Actually rolls wanted to do the engines. They built the cars to raise capital to build the merlin.
@@princeofpalmair love that Merlin engine
4 Merlin's powdered the mighty Lancaster Bomber. The sound of those engines in a Lancaster has been described as a orchestra.
I don't know if this is true, but I was told that when Mr Rolls first came to see Mr Royce's car, Mr Rolls asked Mr Royce to start the vehicle, at which point Mr Royce informed Mr Rolls that the engine was already running!
Heard the same thing. Makes a good story anyway.
hello John how are you doing 😊
My father told me years ago that you could put a nickel on its edge and start the engine and the nickel would not move.
@@jeffglanstein4489 Yes, I sse that done on a Rolls at an auto museum in California. You could do that with Packards from the 1930's & saw it done in a background video at an auction.
Many years ago I recall Rolls-Royce advertising that the loudest sound inside a Rolls-Royce was the ticking of the clock. That's not far off! My engine is very quiet.
Alot respect to two men, they designed and built one of the best cars in the world, Rolls-Royce, the name speaks for itself, perfection in automotive engineering!
It's perfection depending on the consumer. I love my 7 series, but that car is a cruise car for the most part. When I had my 3 series, I preferred the performance engineering behind it. Those big boat cars are marketed to people who are looking for that specifically, not to the average consumer. To say that it's one of the best cars in the world, is far fetched, considering the vast majority of consumers aren't buying RR's. The "best" cars are typically cheaper vehicles, with alot of support, and reliability (usually japanese makes). Rolls Royce doesn't fall under that category. I'm actually wondering, since you like the RR's, what is the highest milage one you've seen? Tbh, im a car guy, but I've never really cared for the RR, even though my 7 series is based off of that car. It's so expensive for no reason..
Aromoriaf
@@mjm7071 its perfection because of the engineering and the skill required for the finished product there are not a lot of cars put together in the way Rolls-Royce do it especially the early car's, comparing them to other car's is pointless if you don't know the reasons why people buy Rolls-Royce, stick to your 7 series mate it's a great car but it ain't a Rolls-Royce
I worked on DeHaviland airplanes in the late 1970's. They were powered by Rolls Royce engines. It was a great experience. Somewhere I still have a few of the original decals.
How much are they worth?!
Was, still, and will remain the best driven car ever in the world.
Thank you Mr. Edmonds for bringing Rolls/ Royce together. Claude Johnson was great at marketing that beautiful car. Marketing can either make or break any brand. Wow! What a beautiful car!!!!

Amazing story about these men and how their vision has progressed over the past decades. Surprised to hear that BMW owns Rolls Royce
What???
Just like how TATA owns Land Rover ! Which is even more surprising 💫
This is an amazing story, success comes to does who look for it. Most times, it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have come to realize a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.
The decision to invest is an acknowledgment that comes with certain risks. Not all investments will do well and some may lose money. However, without risk there would be no opportunity to potentially earn the higher returns that can help you grow your wealth.
I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@nyreggie That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.

The cars of Rolls Royce are very insignificant if you consider how important they were in the development of Engines for planes, ships and tanks and modern jets
It’s amazing just how dumb some peoples thought processes can be, and what an incredibly banal and stupid comment to make. But don’t despair; looking at the 14 thumbs up your stupidity is not completely isolated.
Without the coming together of the two “R”s and the subsequent car building business, it is almost a cast iron guarantee the opportunity to advance into other sectors would never have happened.
So the counter argument to your rather ill conceived comment is the cars were the most important.
Without the cars, the rest never happened.
But they are widely known for their cars. But yes RR makes some of the best aero engines of thejr era.
@@ztunelover similar story was with Hispano Suiza (make cars in Spain, but aircraft engines , weapons and aircraft equipments in France (now integrated in SAFRAN), but did not have the same aura as Rolls Royce...
@@leneanderthalien Hispano-Suiza was as prestigious as Rolls-Royce, if not more so, and the Hispano-Suiza H6B was a better car than the equivalent RR Silver Ghost/Phantom 1. The Hispano-Suiza J12 is the ultimate car ever put into production. Not true to say the Hispano-Suiza lacked the aura of RR. I'm a lifelong enthusiast for both Rolls-Royce and Hispano-Suiza.
Work+skill+management+vision= success
This is the kind of world we've made for ourselves and our children, better have no enemies when the light goes out, due to the economic criss, wars and rate of unemployment I think now is the best time to invest and make more money for the future.

"He studied Algebra, French and Electrical Engineering in his free time..." said no Tik Toker ever.
As a young teenager in the 60s I lived next to a launderette, the owner owned three Rolls-Royce cars and my brother used to earn a bit of pocket money by washing a polishing them once a week or so.
The owner took a trip to the south of France but on the second day of his trip the engine developed a problem and stopped. He phoned a rolls-royce dealership who promptly sent out two mechanics who brought with them a new engine the owner stopped in a hotel overnight and the following day could continue his holiday.
After coming back to England he waited for a few weeks thinking about the bill for the repair as he had no invoice from them. He phoned Rolls Royce and said how much do I owe you for the repair work on my car the reply he got was you must be mistaken sir our cars don't break down and he never got a repair bill.
Wow
I only wish they had that philosophy today! I have several things on mine that could use some attention!

Henry was English. His company was in England. But Rolls Royce is a British company. All UK corporations are federally incorporated. People from outside the UK are often unaware that England, Great Britain, and The UK are not the same thing. England is a country that has it's own local government just like a state does in the US. The UK is four united countries, like the 50 united states in the US. Britain is the colloquial name for the UK. If in doubt, say The UK or Britain.

I’m Irish and I think it’s an awful pity RollsRoyce is not still British owned, surely there is plenty of rich British entrepreneurs who could have bought the company, it’s a British institution after all.
Hence do you think that RR is still Good because of Your own (Assumption) ?

One of the benefits of driving a Rolls-Royce is that you can park it nearly anywhere. And no one will tell you to move it. Restaurants, hotels, all like the image of a Rolls-Royce parked in front of their establishment. That proves true even today.
Nope. Where I work (one big big name in finance institutions) nobody is allowed to park in front of main entrance. Few people with RR and Bentleys thought they can park anywhere. And was priceless to see their faces after they were told to move away.
Royce was the real brain behind the operation.

@@yeoldeseawitch they may be cheap to buy although £50K is not cheap to most people, can you imagine the cost of maintenance a "cheap" Rolls Royce would require? Hence my point that poor boy invents car only the rich can afford! Thanks!
Well, sure, if you buy a new one. The last 'real' Crewe-built Royces, the Silver Spirit/Spur, can be had for well under £25K, and if you're at all mechanically minded can maintain it yourself. The 20HP, 20/25, or 25/30 in drivable albeit oily-rag condition can be about the same price. "The quality remains long after the price is forgotten."

thnxs 4 video. life is interesting.
Rolls Royce jet engines as used on the Boeing 747, were the most powerful and most reliable jet engines used on commercial Aircraft, only the Pratt & Whitney engines were more reliable than the Rolla Royce engines.
Roll's engine's are far superior to the Pratt engine's
All the early 747 engines had major reliability issues. All of them - P&W, GE and Royce's all took over a decade to reach the super reliable levels of today. The RB211-22 was a shocker in the beginning. The -524 was a major improvement. The Rolls Royce Heritage Trust has multiple superb volumes on all their history including a large and very, very detailed thing on the RB211-22C. A fascinating read.
I bought a rolls royce last week, incredible story behind my millions dollar wheels
One day I’ll be like you, hard work pays and congrats to you

Triumph, rolls royce, rover, Bentley, morris, Austin, Jaguar, mg and many more, once large companies now gone or small brands of German, Indian and Chinese companies.
It actually surprised me how many car companies were from UK, since you know... but it is crazy.

Come to think of it, you also documents vehicles! Your humility is topclass! Keep up the good work
I own a 1972 RR Silver Shadow I guess made by the original company before it was nationalized,and then sold to Vikers in 1980,
Hi
Is that u
the pronunciation of Bournemouth was absolutely superb
hello how are you doing 😊
Thanks for the information.
Like almost all Great Brands >>> Even Rolls Royce started very Humbly! Thank You So Much Rolls Royce for giving the Powerplants to power the RAF Supermarine Spitfires during WWII ... May Charles Rolls & Henry Royce be Blessed to a Better World & Realm!
Brilliant job by the 2 men to Invent RR, Of course it wasnt easy by no means
Started humbly but had been made arrogant by the other Brits
@@aayazahmed5389 So what is Your own Opinion on RR ?
@@SledgerFromTDS. RR is a great automotive brand but the CEO and board members were probably arrogant ( No, I am not talking about the founders ). And their arrogance force them to sale it to BMW.
@@aayazahmed5389 Sure the CEO was still Essential to RR, But due to a major loss of Money. They became Bankrupt, Then the CEO sold it to BMW.
Riveting and inspiring. TY for sharing.
I have never seen a Rolls Royce advertisement???
They have advertising, but the target audience is better reached in mediums other than television or random internet ads.
Back in the middle Seventies, Mildred Hard of San Pedro, California a realtor had a Rolls Royce. One day she took my mom and younger brother, Eric out to look at real estate when Eric was still a teenager and he loves cars! After the trip our mom told a few people that Eric got his side of the car all wet from drooling.
Very informative!!
Wow! reminds me of 43 years ago when I was interviewed as a 33 y o to join RR as a Director... studied everything about the history during which i learned that they manufactured trains in Crewe.. Sherman tanks for KSA and generators for Nigeria... at their height they only made 3500 cars sold mainly to the USA and the Middle East.... at the time of interview I recall only 2200 cars....seriously fragile company at the time.... didnt join! hahah....predictably a financial failure given the high dependence on very few markets... great history and great product ( cars) but not well run....it was at the time when they had split the Aero engine business from their other businesses....all gloss and no substance it appeared to me, but a fond memory.
😦😧😮😯😲
We need the full background of the interview, what you did next, any regrets, etc...!
@@paulk1702 no regrets... chairman, CEO, President of several global companies... 2 of them the biggest in their field... retired at age 54.. now 76.. lived in 9 countries and settled in a nice warm one!
@@johnkerr1113 Always great to hear a success story and an early-ish retirement panning out well. That's quite a journey/career - you should write a book! I'm on my 5th country, however getting too old to do any more.
@@paulk1702 Thank you... I have started writing a book with a working title of Insignificantly Significant but busy with orphanage and stuff so hard work! hahah.
Yes I would like to add that Rolls Royce was used in India as a garbage dumping vehicle
Well, nothing quite says India like garbage dumping
That was only because Rolls Royce staff member , behaved rudely with an Indian nobel, so the Indian nobel brought the whole fleet of Rolls Royce as Garbage dumping vehicle.
Ofc when Rolls Royce got to know about this embarrassing, they sent him new Rolls Royce.
@@seeker777 And that person was a nizam. A Muslim.
@@syedrehanhashmi4978 I know, so what?
I also remember he levied highest of the taxes and sucked the life blood of the people.
@@syedrehanhashmi4978 bakchodi na kar . Wo nizam kya paise middle east se laya tha
Great video, thx for the lesson
Stunning!
Yes, this was truly inspirational. I also feel timing had a lot to do with the success of this world class automobile (and aircraft engine) company. Also, no mention was made about RR company's involvement in military contracts.
