A 1934 Rolls Royce 20/25 Barker Limousine on display in the foyer of the Midland Hotel Manchester.
It was on May 4th 1904 that the Honourable Mr Charles Rolls met Mr Henry Royce in the Grill Room (now Mount Street Dining Room & Bar), where they had lunch together, looked at the twin cylinder 10hp Mr Royce had designed and decided to go into business together. The first Rolls Royce cars were made in Manchester, with the company leading the way in early motor technology. One of the first Rolls-Royce cars made now sits in Manchester’s Science and Industry Museum, and is one of only three cars remaining of this type.
