New Delhi: Luxury British car maker Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Limited has registered record annual sales by surpassing 4,000 sales-mark.

The car maker sold 4,063 cars in 2014 thereby registering a 12 percent growth over its 2013 sales first time in its 111-year history.

The 111-year-old car maker, bought by Germany's BMW in 1998, sold 3,630 vehicles in 2013, up from 3,575 in 2012, driven largely by demand for personalized vehicles from the super-rich in Asia and the Middle East.

Rolls-Royce has in the last two years opened 15 new dealerships last year in cities like Istanbul, Beirut, Lagos, Hanoi and Manila.
