Henry Royce Drove Home

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

On 1 April 1904 Henry Royce, mechanic, built a motor car for his own use and drive it home. If it had broken down or been excessively noisy the world probably wouldn't have known. But it ran smoothly and silently and the best car in the world was born. Stuart Hall recreates the journey from
Manchester to Knutsford in a 1905 Rolls-Royce 10 hp, and is followed by the latest Rolls-Royce Camargue.
