News about Henry Royce

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars reached a record year of sales in 2023 as the British luxury car brand's super wealthy customers continued to invest heavily on customizing elements and extras. Last year, the British luxury carmaker delivered 6,032 motors to wealthy customers in more than 50 countries around the world, more than ever before in the marque's 119-year history.

Broom Manor is an elegant 19th-century mansion - or, at least, it was once aspired - near the upmarket town of Knutsford in the heart of Cheshire countryside. It boasts seven bedrooms, stables, adjoining cottages, and a central courtyard. 'The high-end living space includes sumptuous bathroom and kitchen fittings, a sophisticated look with period details mixed with sleek modern technology,' is how an estate agent marketed the property shortly before it was auctioned for £1,385,250 in July 2014, much less than what it was worth.' Because the rail link to Manchester was now cancelled north leg of the rail link, owner James Hilton had no choice but to accept the bid from HS2 Ltd, the government-funded company that was responsible for providing the train link to Manchester, because it would have scythed through his garden. His property, as well as scores of others in Cheshire, became worthless on the open market the moment it was revealed (in 2013).

Rolls-Royce's luxury car manufacturer will have a British boss for the first time in 14 years as long-serving CEO Torsten Müller-tvos has announced his resignation from the company's leadership at the end of next month. Since Claude Johnson, the man who brought Charles Rolls and Henry Royce together in 1904, the German is the brand's longest-serving CEO. Chris Brownridge, BMW UK's current chief executive, will take over the reigns starting 1 December, will be in charge of the company's next chief executive. Roll-Royce Motor Cars' last British CEO was Müller-tvos' predecessor, Ian Purves, who left the Goodwood firm in 2010.

Over a decade ago, Dapper Anglophile German Torsten Müller-tvös was entrusted with a treasure chest of Britain's automobile crown jewels. He has been CEO for 13 years, having had his deal extended beyond the age of 60, when board members of BMW are typically expected to step down. Rolls-Royce's performance last year is lauded as "a great British success tale," and the 62-year-old hopes that 2023 will be another good year.

Rolls-Royce's most aerodynamic motor vehicle ever, the two-door four-seater fastback, has a presence and size similar to the previous petrol-powered Wraith coupe's. Although exact prices have yet to be revealed, the corporation claims that Spectre will be priced between the Cullinan 4x4 and flagship Phantom models. However, customers will seldom buy any new Rolls-Royce without adding significant personal touches and extras, so they will typically be paying more than £400,000.
