When Maharaja Jay Singh of Alwar *visited the showrooms of Rolls-Royce in London, the salesman implied that he couldn't afford to purchase the new model, am told he purchased 10, shipped them home & converted them into garbage trucks.




That's a great story! I had to look it up for more details...

Here in India, the Rolls-Royce was a hot favourite with the erstwhile Maharajas. Some of them made truly bizarre modifications to their cars, and others collected as many as they could. The Maharaja of Patiala had 38, the Maharaja of Mysore, 35. The Nizam of Hyderabad had a throne installed, and a roof that looked like a starry night sky. The Maharaja of Alwar was so furious with the company for refusing to carry out certain modifications, that he converted his six Silver Ghosts to garbage trucks.
