Rolls-Royce is like any other large manufacturer of this sort of thing: they negotiate each contract individually. Rolls-Royce used to make three things: jet engines, heavy-duty diesel engines and automobiles. Today they only make jet engines; their diesel engine factory belongs to Perkins Engines, and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars belongs to BMW.

There are a lot of factors that go into a contract. First of course is quantity. It is far less expensive to make a batch of 1000 engines than to make 1000 engines over the course of five years. It costs less to sell 1000 engines to one customer than to sell 1000 engines to forty different people. It's less expensive to deliver 1000 engines to one customer than to deliver them to 40 different customers--if forty people each order 25 engines they'll be delivered on trucks, and you'll need three loads per customer. For a thousand engines I'm calling a railroad. Plus materials costs are lower--again, scale. If I need 100 pounds of titanium per engine I can buy 100,000 pounds of it at one whack cheaper than I can negotiate out the price for 40 different buys.

It would be nice to say "Rolls-Royce's pricing strategy is materials + value added + profit" but in the real world of industrial procurement it rarely works that way.

A Rolls Royce Phantom Saloon supplanted with a BMW originated 6.75 liter non-aspirated V-12 engine has an output of slightly over 450 horsepower. Pretty powerful and FAST with a governed maximum speed increased during the 2007 model year to 149 miles per hour. Incidentally, to my knowledge, the fastest production saloon in the world is the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Saloon, supplanted with an aspirated 6.75 liter Volkswagen originated W12 engine (2 little V6 engines melded together) and then supplanted with two twin bi-turbochargers, to give the standard version 550 horsepower. The new limited edition, and thus, rare 2008 Speed Edition has special modifications which yield to 600 horsepower. These cars, whether standard or Speed or the Phantom, are absurdly, yet delightfully throw the back of your head against the headrest while foot on the floor, FAST.

3 Men were waiting to go to heaven. St Peter was at the gate and said, "However good you were to your wife that is the vehicle you will get in heaven".

The first guy comes up to the gate and says, "I never, ever cheated on my wife and I love her". So St. Peter gives him a Rolls Royce.

The next man comes up and says, "I cheated on my wife a little but I stilll love her." He gets a mustang and drives off into heaven.

The next guy came up and said, "I cheated on my wife alot". He gets a scooter.

Next day the guy that got the scooter was riding along and he saw the guy who owned the Rolls Royce crying.

He asked, "Why are you crying you have such a nice car?!" and the man sobbed, "My wife just went by on roller skates".

The red logo on the radiator grill means this car was made before Charles Rolls death in a flying accident in 1910

Sorry to debunk this urban myth, and the other one (at least closer in date), that it marked the passing of Henry Royce in 1933; The answer (and I have this from the Rolls-Royce Heritage Centre - my sons were doing a school project) is that the logo changed in 1932 to the more neutral black colour, to avoid clashing with the latest car bodywork colour schemes

Remove your rack and pinion, send it to a rebuilder, jobber, and they will easily be able to rebuild it and return it to you. This would be by far the most cost effective. Consider having an experienced GM mechanic and or a large volume parts supplier look at it. I bet they would tell you that it is somewhat common and it may be GM.

The car is not sold just to those who wish to buy it. There is a process where it is decided if the person wishing to buy it is fit enough to be its owner or not and money is not just the criteria. The company carries out a complete profile check of the person who shows interest in owning a Rolls Royce. The person's entire profile, social standing for the past few years is put under scanner and then decided. Even test drives are given to selected people.

Notable people who own Rolls Royce include : late Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, David Beckham to name a few. Few Indians in the list include Actor Sanjay Dutt who gifted his wife Manyata a 'Rolls Royce Ghost' and Vidhu Vinod Chopra who gifted Amitabh Bachchan with 'Rolls Royce Phantom'.

A notable and an interesting fact about an Indian Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, about how he was refused by the company. Reacting to the refusal, the Maharaja ordered new Rolls Royce cars and put them to hauling garbage, dung and filth in Patiala city to the chagrin of the all-powerful Rolls Royce-loving Viceroy and the British ruling establishment who quickly prevailed upon the Rolls Royce Company to comply with the Maharaja's wishes.
