Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Cars Automobile Sells Price Buy in UK

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is a British manufacturer of luxuary automobile based at the Goodwood plant in West Sussex, Englan . It is the current producer of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars branded automobile , whose  histrical production dates back to 1904. The  factroy is located across from the historic Goodwood Circuit in Goodwood , West Sussex , England . It is a wholly owned subsidiary of BMW. The history of Rolls-Royce began as Rolls-Royce Limited which started manufacturing cars in 1903. The factory at Goodwood is the fifth Rolls-Royce UK based automobile production facility since 1904. The previous four were located in Manchester, London, Derby, and Crewe. 

The situation was tilted in BMW's favor, as they could withdraw their engine supply with just 12 months notice, which was insufficient time for VW to reengineer the Rolls-Royce cars to use VW's own engines. BMW and VW arrived at a solution. From 1998 to 2002 BMW would continue to supply engines for the cars and would allow use of the names by VW, but this would cease on 1 January 2003. From that date, only BMW would be able to name cars "Rolls-Royce", and VW's former Rolls-Royce/Bentley division would build only cars called "Bentley."

From that date, only BMW would be able to name cars "Rolls-Royce", and VW's former Rolls-Royce/Bentley division would build only cars called "Bentley."  It was actually decided before by Henry Royce himself that black was more appropriate since the red clashed with the colour of some models.[1] The Phantom III of 1934 was the first Rolls Royce to display the black badge, being the first car without input from Mr. Royce. In 1998, owners Vickers decided to sell Rolls-Royce Motors. The most likely buyer was BMW, who already supplied engines and other components for Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars, but BMW's final offer of £340m was beaten by Volkswagen's £430m.

The cars are available in normal and extended wheelbase, and prices start at about £250,000.2003+ Phantom (saloon)—Launched in January 2003 at Detroit's North American International Auto Show, this is the first model from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited, a BMW Group subsidiary having no corporate connection with the previous Rolls-Royce Motors company apart from the trademarks mentioned above.
