One of the First Rolls-Royce 10 HP Models

1906

Seated with poise and purpose, these gentlemen mark the dawn of a motoring revolution. Captured shortly after 15th March 1906, the photograph shows one of the earliest Rolls-Royce 10 HP cars—a marvel of Edwardian engineering and elegance.

This was the year when Henry Royce and Charles Stewart Rolls officially registered the Rolls-Royce company, laying the foundation for what would become one of the most revered names in automotive history.

With its tiller-style steering, polished brass fittings and solid tyres, the 10 HP embodied both mechanical precision and aristocratic style—a fitting carriage for a new century of progress.

🚘 A turning point on wheels, now etched into the archives of Oldpik.com, where the past continues to drive inspiration forward.
