For generations, people the world over have been intrigued by the magic of the hand-built motor cars created by the world's most skilled craftsmen and women. Their workmanship and world-class engineering made Rolls-Royce the benchmark for quality and excellence. The supreme accolade for other products was to be described as 'the Rolls-Royce of...'

Owners range from royalty and billionaires to Hollywood stars and the just plain rich. They shared one aim - to own the very best.
