There is an interesting tale about a Maharaja who used the iconic Rolls-Royce as a garbage vehicle. Once, Maharaja Jai Singh of Alwar went on a visit to London. During his stay in the city, he visited the Rolls-Royce showroom. He asked the staff there about the specifications of the car, but they made fun of him and ignored his request for a test drive. Little did they know that the man dressed in ordinary clothes was one of the wealthiest rulers of India. A furious Maharaja went back and visited the showroom again, this time in all royal splendous. He was welcomed with a red carpet and staff treated him with utmost respect. After spending two hours in the showroom, the Maharaja bought all the six cars displayed there, that too in single payment. He shipped the cars back to India and to insult Rolls-Royce, used them to sweep the roads and collect the garbage in his province.
