    Fun fact #1
    Many people believe that the colour of the little plaque on the radiator of Rolls-Royce cars changed from red to black when Sir Henry Royce died in 1933 aged 70 years. In fact the reason was less romantic and based on an aesthetic decision which was that black would be more in keeping with the saloon body colours of the car. Royce always participated in any decision making and it was a coincidence that he died the same year as the colour change.

    Fun fact #2
    When something is at perfection some say "it's the Rolls Royce of..." meaning it's the best there is.

    Was a great insight! If you bought a rolls, you'd almost have to have a chauffeur!
