The new two-car showroom is located in Ningbo, East China, in the heart of the commercial district. Its launch follows a successful first quarter where sales of the world's pinnacle automotive brand in mainland China tripled, compared to the previous year.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Asia Pacific regional director, Paul Harris, who officially opened the new showroom, said: 'The new showroom reflects our commitment to the Chinese market, already our third largest in the world.  Greater China continues its rapid growth and with a healthy order bank for both Phantom and Ghost models, I am confident this will be a record year for the market. As a result, we are already considering further dealer expansion into other areas of China.'

'We are delighted to be able to represent Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in Ningbo. Already, we have received tremendous interest from Ningbo and the surrounding area, and this opening allows us to better serve our discerning customers. We have also invested heavily in our 16 staff and service centre with the latest equipment,' said Richard Tang, chairman of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ningbo.

Other Rolls-Royce showrooms in Greater China are located at Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Shenzhen.
