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.

This is really powerful words "if it doesn't exist, design it"

Same here (not a tear though, but this little tingle). A nice story.

Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have earning $50,000 returns from my $8,000 investment every 21 days.

I'm also interested, tell me more about how you can earn

A friend that I referred to her just received €9,050 profit after 10 days of investing.... I became jealous.. Lol

My first experience with Mrs Teresa gave me the assurance that has made me to invest without fear of loosing, I got four of my friends involved with her already

She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade for myself

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😃

and you created something before criticizing someone, huh?

🤑

do you see rolls royce on the street 🤑

A decade is a long time ..either he was determined..stubborn af or both

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". 😉

@LUNAtic 👍👍

@Howard McKeown you just know to say whoosh but don't yourself know what the joke is lol

@Jeshkam the company says zthe Axel didn't broke* as a joke but you says *but actually it's broke* we know it's broke, you don't need saying it again that's why people woosh you

@Floor_floor you think people who bought rolls royce is an poor?

Such an inspiring story creating an iconic brand. Rolls Royce is the definition of class.

@Benjamin Blackwell Damn Benjy, you dismantled his comment 🥵

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.

Great things have humble beginnings

and a teacher

The poor boy now makes us feel like a poor boy-

Just showing us how he felt 🤣

Don't understand

😂😂

😂💀

Underrated comment 😂

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.

@Matt B - I would love to see such a test and find out if the lessons of Henry Royce are still followed or if they are just cruising on their image (like BMW, their current owner).

We need Whistlindiesel to do a durability test on a Rolls Royce. "Rolls Royce Test- is it as durable as they say it is?"

@Michael Bigdongovic - I've had one of those, too (a Mk. IV Sprite). You can be assured that BL used the customer as the design shake-out process. Endless fun, though (when it was running).

Leyland cars ehem

@JustGiveNoFox I think that they're still reliable if not more so than previous generation models, so long as you maintain their maintenance schedule. I personally don't care for any of the recent models, I much prefer the older classics. Good luck to you, if you have the means, you will certainly have a very pleasing experience with one.

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.

right and done

@Mark Fryer Rolls-Royce cars are manufactured in Goodwood Sussex, and the car business is owned by BMW. Rolls-Royce PLC is an entirely different and much larger business manufacturing aero engines based in Derby.

@Tortilla Wrapper While the cars are still made in Coventry, the business is owned by BMW.

@Tortilla Wrapper 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

@t2216 no they are not.. cars are still made in coventry,GB

This was a very informative and well-made video. I would have liked to learn more about the design and development of the all-important Rolls-Royce Merlin aircraft engine.

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.

nah, homie lived to 150 yrs

Well it's been 2022 years since they put unkle on the cross or as in Australia since they hung Ned bushland coastal desert training ground for a world alot diff than ours ul see

I thought I was trippin

@Joseph Marr I did the same :)

Right ... When he said 1993 , I thought Henry lived to be 130 years old and that's not succumbing to sickness as much as a full well healthy life !

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.

Driving a Mercedes ?

I only wish they had that philosophy today! I have several things on mine that could use some attention!

Wow

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?!

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.

4 Merlin's powdered the mighty Lancaster Bomber. The sound of those engines in a Lancaster has been described as a orchestra.

@princeofpalmair love that Merlin engine

Actually rolls wanted to do the engines. They built the cars to raise capital to build the merlin.

Exactly, especially considering the aerospace division of RR is far more significant and more valuable than the automotive division.

When it comes to investing, we want our money to grow with the highest rates of return, and the lowest risk possible. While there are no shortcuts to getting rich, but there are smart ways to go about it

She never gives you excuses why your Investment did not work out well not like other do after collecting your money

How sure are you guys about this Tiffany..fx..Morris everyone is talking aboutqy

I've never heard or seen any of her clients complain of lost....I think she's just too good. I doubted it too not before I gave my first trial...and it was of no regret

Most people remain poor only because friends and relatives discouraged and advise them against investing and cyptocurrency trading, while the wise ones kept investing and growing higher financially

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

@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...

But they are widely known for their cars. But yes RR makes some of the best aero engines of thejr era.

Without the cars, the rest never happened.

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.

@Womenhave HiveMind Bruce Springsteen has...

@Asbury Park You mean even americans come there?

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.

@Hugh G Rection 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.

It is the Midland Hotel

Very interesting thank you for your research and Hardwork and sharing it with all of us!👍🏽

This was a great story! Especially since Rolls-Royce produces some of my favorite dream cars. My dream is to own one of these cars as a regular Joe which I know is possible since their are plenty of my negro counterparts here in the DC area who are regular Joe's that own these cars due to excellent credit and good jobs. I plan to be one of them as soon as my credit score reaches 830 like my father...just wait and see. Nevertheless I hope that Rolls-Royce will continue their founder's legacy for generations to come and that they will always keep their quality over quantity way of life. So until I can afford one I'll just get me a Mercedes-Benz lol.

Amazing story about these men and how their vision has progressed over the past decades. Surprised to hear that BMW owns Rolls Royce

Just like how TATA owns Land Rover ! Which is even more surprising 💫

What???

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?

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.

@Lord Kiltridge lol I see your point. He lived in my hometown for a good majority of his life so think I'm just reaching in the hope he's Welsh

@Kyle Jones Absolutely. Just as a fifth generation Canadian can consider himself Scottish through heritage, so can another be Welsh.

@Lord Kiltridge "he retained a strong family connection with his ancestral home of The Hendre near Monmouth, Wales." Could potentially mean he has Welsh ancestry

@Paul Hughes You are clearly confused. England govern the other nations, not the other way around. Here's a perfect and simple example for you - Wales have never had a Conservative majority, yet have to implement and follow Conservative policies

@Lord Kiltridge Hi Lord. There’s value added in much of your last contribution - thank you - but the conclusion to the fourth sentence is a bit wooly, IMHO. The simple truth is that there’s no end of fun when folk mash up the national, geographic, historical and colloquial references to that collection of places and people we’ve been talking about. The people who live there struggle with the interplay of laws, culture and society. No wonder us foreigners get confused. 🙂

Wow, he lived from 1863-1993, truly incredible

No it's 1933

Many years ago I heard the story of Henry Royce. The article in --- I think it was BOYS' LIFE --- suggested it would be more appropriate to call the modern models a Royce rather than a Rolls. I always have. The agreement to sell as many cars as Royce could build is similar to the Studebaker Brothers' deal, Peter vowed to build as many horse-drawn wagons as Henry and Clement could build and H&C agreed to build as many as Peter could build. John and another brother whose name escapes me at the moment became involved early on. John (an adventurous soul who had been lured to California during the gold rush) kicked $5000 into the venture, and Studebaker remained the biggest maker of horse-drawn vehicles, with worldwide distribution, until 1920, and for a time in the 1900s was the biggest automobile manufacturer in the world until another Henry started building that infernal Model T.

But don't forget who made the V8 engine. Henry Ford.

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.

They should make a movie about this. Or miniseries.

If anyone deserves a story it’s Nikola Tesla, about how he got fucked over by Edison

I agree. Brad Pitt should by Henry and Justin Bieber should be Rolls. There'll be many explosions, drugs, orgies, sex, fast furious races, gun fights, and.... and.... we shouldn't let Hollywood make this movie (sigh).

I'll think about this it!!!

Sheriff

The government doesn't want to promote hard work and individualism. They want participation prizes and socialism. Register and vote in every election and support your county.

I will forever be indebted to you, You've changed my whole life and i continue to preach about your name for the whole world to hear you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment,Thanks so much Luciana cruz

*investwithluciana*

@Susan Lee You can reach her on her TELEGAM with the user name below

I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?

Wow, amazing to see others who trade with mrs Luciana cruz. I am currently on my 5th trade with her and my portfolio has increased tremendously

This is great! Very inspiring content ❤️

you for got to mention that 60% of every rolls roys car ever build is still on the road. Quiet impressive feat

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!

@Jeff Glanstein you’re absolutely correct. My dad had a small used car dealership and that was one of his gimmicks he’d use to sell his RR’s and Bentleys

@Daniel Lindsay Cool! What year & model do you have?

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.

@Jeff Glanstein 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.

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.

Inspiration.. hard work pays off😎

Just goes to show you what is possible beyond where you are.

I am really impressed with those who DO NOT leave their mother land and with hard work and dedication make it big in life.

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.

@Paul K Yes.. a reputation for taking a little drink! and other things! I get ribbed about it in Australia of course.... hahah

@john kerr Excellent title. Hope you get to do it. A namesake of yours was an infamous Governor General where I now live. Guessing no relation!

@Paul K 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.

@john kerr 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.

@Paul K 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!

The first time I got into one in the driver's seat to drive it- I couldn't find where or which side of the steering wheel to insert the key into. Later I'd driven several of them- including almost all the top brands. Where only the most expensive cars came for me to do the valet in Dubai. Well, the d/license is a tough thing to obtain there. I had mine. So it was a mandatory temporary job.

@Ivan Fernyhough Thank u. But I saw it b4 u saw ur first RR with ur eyes.

Difficult to find,its on the dashboard right in front of you 🤣🤣

Yes, that key hole is incredibly difficult to find as I learned in 1986 as a parking valet....someone else had parked it & I was there to retrieve it & took me an extra 20 minutes to delivery, but the owner was very nice about it.

This very informative and and encouraging as well. Thanks for taking your time to research and for sharing.

Moral of the story,one met success in his forties the other one in his twenties, regardless both wrote their names in the book of greats... Doesn't matter what age you make it,just make sure you keep the Consistence till you make it.

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!!!!

@Tortilla Wrapper what

@Golf Good WHAT THEEE FCKKKKKKKKKKK

Hi baby how are you doing now i hope you are really doing good you are awesome looking at you baby makes happy when I look at your picture it is beyond my imagination that a creature like you really exist like a rose you make the garden so beautiful You are a diamond to any man that have eyes to see goodness of a womanhood Baby am Ben easy going person very understandable Am a civil engineer and a contractor I work at so many places like Asia Europe and Africa I love art craft and I write music I like ideal people when I see your picture am impress I want a good woman that understand what real love is all about who will understand me and perfectly be for me So we can build our world strong enough to care for each other I want you to be mine and I hope to hear from you soonest thanks

I cannot vouch 100% on this story, but my mother who told it to me was an honest upright person. A man in Australia had broken a rear axel in a Rolls Royce. He contacted the place he bought the car from. 2 engineers were flown out from England with a new Axel. The Axel was replaced, and off they went. Some time passed, and he had not been sent an account. He enquired and recieved this reply. Rolls Royce cars don't break rear axels so you won't be receiving an acount.

Imagine being the only kid on campus with car while most people haven’t even heard of it! That’s power baby ! 🤣🤣😂

@Sthembiso Madlala I’m telling you🤣

Imagine the flex😂😂😂. Taking all the girls for a ride.

I love how they show a modern RR in the opening when they describe the founder making the most luxurious cars in the world. His family apparently also used a ballpoint pen to sign bankruptcy papers in the 1800's. There's plenty of stock photos out there if you just try a little bit harder.

oh come on man. This was a great video.

Fun fact : an amazing 65% of ALL Rolls Royce cars EVER built are still on the road

@Caveman Ballistics lol

Yes, and as I understand it the other 35% actuality made it home!

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

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.

Note. In the beguining all was about the engine. The coaches were not the priority and made by a lot of less known businesses. Most famous coachmaker must be British PCC, Pullman Car Compagny. Later it came from one factory together.

10:04 - 'in 1993' ...I think you meant to say 'in 1933' If Henry Rolls had died in 1993, he also would have been famous for being the oldest person to have ever lived 😉

LMAO

Lolol

The narrator said Henry outlived Charles by 2 decades, while it was 4 decades, one dying in his 40s and the other in his 70s. There was a huge gap between the 30s cars and today's colorful RR.

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

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..

Love this I needed to hear this today

@Bianca Doring aaaaqaaaaaaa

@Troll i dont think they so, i hope not, is it a bot? Or sokowa boys with multi accounts? Mrs and Mr is how western africans speak in proper prefixes... funny where is their non bianary expert trsder? I wonder is mrs smith is a women? Can they define a woman in africa? Yep they did on what is a women documetary... matt walsh asked tribes .. funny they seem so know, was that a social construct?

Rolls Royce now makes engines for massive planes…looks like rolls got what he wanted even after his passing. Both men went out succeeding in life. Rolls might not have seen how the company fully turned out but he for sure got to what many would have wished for and thats flying planes. Golden age id say of planes.

awesome story of what happens when you mix a perfectionist engineer and a high-end marketer

They should make a movie, of this incredible story! Very inspiring!

@Dave S nice to meet you 🙂

@Allyson Hanks good 👍

hello Dave how are you doing 😊

I found this video to be very informative and interesting! Thank you for sharing this very inspirational story!!!

The detail that his friend Ernest Alexander Claremont came from a rich family who gave the funding for their company, is of course very unpleasant, if you just want to tell a cool from rag to riches success story. Like today, hard work is only rewarded if you are lucky too. And back then, being poor meant your kids are going to starve and die.

Creating a brand requires vision.

To describe a legacy as “expensive” is crass.

Can you imagine what the people of Britain must have thought when petrol driven cars were introduced, replacing horse drawn carriages. Only 127 years ago.

The power of persistence.... 👍 Dedicated to their vision.

That is an awesome story. Many successful people have to collaborate with other people seeking to be successful.

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.

The real question: HOW DIFFICULT is it to START A BUSINESS TODAY?

I always think this. It’s like easier and harder. Easier as you can just open up ur laptop and make a website and pay for advertisement all in a day. But now a lot of the basic needs have been invented so you need to be extra creative to make a business

Driven lots of these cars and worked on them best cars in the world

Great intro but this 11min video really doesn’t do the story justice. Only Rolls-Royce Motors is owned by BMW, the Rolls-Royce name lives on in its civil, military aero divisions as well as naval and energy businesses. For those wanting a greater depth to the story buy and read “The Magic of a Name - The Rolls-Royce Story” books. It explains the importance Henry had but also Claude who is really the unsung hero of the business.

In other words, a genius!

What an amazing success story.

10:04 Henry Royce died in 1933 not 1993. He would have to be 130 years old to live to 1993.

I realized that the secret to financial security is Making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money invest:ng. For example last year I invested 70k in blue chip stocks and crypt0 s (with the help of my advisor of course) and made about 380k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up close to a million. Delayed gratification always pays off.

I wonder if you have already withdrawn money, or does it belong to individuals on the account?

There has never been a better time to make investments than now

I thought of investing in Crypto in 2018 but was discouraged by the fluctuation in price

Tough time creates strong people💪🏻

I feel that this atitude towards the best is still very active, but held back in Gt.Briton, therecare some really very clever engineers in the U.K waiting for companies to wake up to the fact that ripping people off with anything that has a built in fault to reduce it useful life. I am sure that if anyone was to take this atitude and put it into work ethics withing a company.. We have seen that this does work, just a look at Australian airways, the longest running airway in the world with a high standard nobody esle can touch, all based on prividing the best, so the idear does work even today. I would love to see someone in Gt,Briton start a company with this atitude and instill it in their work force so they are proud to say i work for this company, and they reward that pride by taking care of all who work for them, ratger than abuse the priviledge.. I recall the pride when my mother found out i had applied for a job at R.R. and rather perplexed at the fact they wanted to know my family history, that was to write the maintenance manuals for the R.B.211 engine. Then being produced. These days people are very put off the idea of pride in their work by a whole string of bad management practices, i.e. a big bonus for me at the top and a few crumbs for you who do the work, sadly a world wide practice. I was very lucky to work for a company that did things the best way not the cheapest, and chose their staff the same way,

Oho, let comment this to save 😅

3:40 "...and with financial support from his father, he opened the first car dealerships in Britain, in 1903."

Wow so great the story line was,peace be with their souls

Thank you so much for this story. Great channel.

Rolls-Royce may have won in the long run, but back in the day, Dusenberg made Rolls look like economy cars by comparison.

I live where he was born, unfortunately the Road named after Royce, is now and industrial estate, leading to Perkins engine's, with a Macdonald's on the road, Perkins was established on the Road in 1932

Great channel, great content! Thank you 👍

That blew me away when they said that they were making electrical doorbells in 1894!

Many years ago young people were very smart, passionate, and hard working. When they wanted to invent something or create something they just build it even if it was a risky business.

Interesting and inspiring video as always gives one hope!!

Wish the pair could see their achievements in todays world.

8:25 "He would end up outliving his business partner Charles by a couple of decades"? 38 years is a heck of a lot more than a couple of decades.

Work+skill+management+vision= success
