** A few of our dear aluxers brought to our attention a pretty interesting fact about rolls royce, which is why we want to also share it with the rest of you! You can call this fact 18 or the hidden fact if you wish. ** So, a while ago sometime around 1920 Jai Singh, Maharaja of Alwar in Rajasthan, India was strolling on the streets of London in casual attire and went into a Rolls Royce dealership. He inquired about the price and specifications of one of the cars and the british salesman treated him like a poor indian citizen and was "thrown out" of the dealership. He returned back to his hotel and instructed his servants to call the same dealership and tell them that the Maharaja of Alwar city is interested in purchasing some cars from them. He showed up in his royal attire and the red carpet was rolled out for his visit. He chose 6 luxury cars and paid the full amount in cash. He then arranged for the cars to be shipped to India where he used them to sweep the streets and collect garbage. The word spread like wildfire and this dropped the sales of the luxury car maker significantly. The people at Rolls Royce realized their mistake and sent an apology to Jai Singh along with 6 other Rolls Royce cars free of charge! He accepted their apology and stopped using the first 6 cars as trash disposals.
