In 1906 Rolls-Royce produced four chassis to be shown at the Olympia car show, two existing models and two examples of a new car designated the 40/50 hp. The 40/50 hp was so new that the show cars were not fully finished, and examples were not provided to the press for testing until March 1907. The Autocar had coined the phrase best car in the world about the make in 1907. The car was made by Rolls-Royce Limited.
