Photo Gallery «Napier 1900-1924 - a competitor for Rolls-Royce»
There have been around 10,000 car brands and designers - most of which have disappeared. One of these vanished brands is Napier, which was Rolls-Royce's only rival in the early days. Napier became famous for its innovative vehicles, for example the first series-produced six-cylinder car was built in 1904. Many racing successes cemented the reputation of the English brand, which finally ceased to build passenger cars in 1924.
