The 55th Statesman Vintage and Classic Car Rally on January 11 will showcase historical vehicles, including pre-1920 Rolls Royces. The event highlights a famous anecdote of the Maharaja of Alwar, Jai Singh Prabhakar, who, after being insulted by a London Rolls Royce showroom, purchased several cars. He then reportedly used them as street sweepers in India, a move that prompted Rolls Royce to apologize and offer more vehicles to protect their brand reputation.
