The first car ever manufactured by Rolls-Royce was the Rolls-Royce 10 hp. It was manufactured as the result of a successful agreement between Henry Royce and Charles Rolls in the year 1904. This car was unveiled in December at the Paris Salon.
This car was manufactured in the factory of Rolls-Royce, in Cooke Street, Manchester. Charles Rolls was an owner of a car dealership and he accepted to sell the cars manufactured by Henry Royce after being thoroughly impressed by the manufacturing of the cars by Henry Royce.4
The car was sold for £395 in the year 1906. This amount approximately equals a whooping ₹47,20,649 in today’s economy. Amazing right?!

If you didn’t know that Rolls-Royce is known worldwide for its luxury and its crazy attention to detail, then you’ve got to know some mind-blowing facts like the following one to make you understand the standard of quality of this brand.
Rolls-Royce cars use Bull Hides or Bull skin for their upholstery. Yes, you heard me right! Rolls-Royce cars provide ultimate comfort in their cabin and all thanks to bull hides that make it possible. This is just impeccable upholstery.
Rolls-Royce uses Bull hides over Cattle hides because during pregnancy cattle skin tends to get stretch marks and that would reduce the pristine look of luxury that the manufacturer promises. So the manufactures settled to cover the entire car with Bull Hides upholstery.
Also, the bulls that are reared for bull hides are specially raised in some parts of Europe, so that the bulls are free from mosquito bites, which apparently plays a major role in the luxury that they deliver. Rolls-Royce claims that it takes about 8 bulls to upholster a single car! Now that’s LUXURY!!

Rolls-Royce cars are equipped with a refrigerator that operates in two cooling modes; one chilling to about six degrees centigrade and the other chilling to 11 degrees centigrade respectively. This is designed because Sommeliers advise that non-vintage Champagne be served at an optimum temperature of 6 degrees and vintage Champagne at around 11 degrees.
All the Phantom and Ghost models have been equipped with these special glass holding chambers and Champagne cooling chambers for the riders to enjoy every bit of luxury when inside the car. This is what luxury and opulence look like!

A coach liner is a person who puts pinstripes onto a car. And one of the most unique features of a Rolls-Royce car is that the coach-lining is entirely painted all by one man only. His name is Mark Court. Let me remind you that he does completely freehand! Mind-blowing!!
Worldwide within the Rolls-Royce (BMW Group), he is the only one to do it, and no robots or any machines are used. Mark Court uses only squirrel hair to paint his pinstripes on a Rolls-Royce car.
He stated that using man-made brushes that are manufactured these days, leave brush marks on the car, within these lines. Squirrel hair is natural hair and he states natural hair of a squirrel leaves no marks. And Rolls-Royce says that they do this to keep up with their standard.
Conclusion:
There are many more features and facts that make a Rolls-Royce car stand out in the crowd. Rolls-Royce will always be the most luxurious car manufacturer unless someone else takes the initiative to do something even crazier than Rolls-Royce!
