Rolls Royce Silver Shadow produced from 1965 to 1980
Rolls-Royce Limited was a renowned British luxury car manufacturing company and, from 1914 on, aero-engine manufacturing company founded by Charles Stewart Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce on 15 March 1906 as the result of a partnership formed in 1904. In 1971, Rolls-Royce was crippled by the costs of developing the advanced RB211 jet engine, resulting in the nationalization of the company as Rolls-Royce Limited. In 1973, the car division was separated from the parent company as Rolls-Royce Motors. Rolls-Royce Limited continued as a nationalized company until it was privatised in 1987 as Rolls-Royce plc.
