Even today the name ‘Rolls-Royce’ is not only known as the name of a car but also as a symbol of respect. So many people who buy it buy it to prove their social status.
Rolls Royce only sells these cars to people who live in an important part of the society. Rolls-Royce has been following this rule for over 100 years. So, this is the story of a king who taught Accor a lesson by refusing to provide this car.
Jaisingh Maharaja, a native of Alwar in Rajasthan, was strolling down a street in central London one day in 1920, enjoying the beauty of nature. Then he entered the Rolls Royce car showroom that caught his eye. He was attracted by the Rolls Royce car there and asked for sale. At that moment he was dressed like a commoner. So an employee of the store made fun of his color and appearance, disrespected him and sent him away.
Considering this as a shame, the Alwar Maharaja went to the town and immediately sent a message to the Rolls Royce car company that the Maharaja was coming. Later, the same employee gave him a red carpet welcome on his arrival. Then he took all the six cars that were there at that time with full payment.
Then he went to the town and ordered the Rolls Royce cars in the municipality and not the garbage on the streets. They also tied two brooms to the front of the cart and used them to sweep the garbage. The news spread around the world and their status and sales percentages suddenly began to decline.
They then sent a letter of apology to the king, gifted the cars, and asked for the return of the garbage-cleaning cars. The king also accepted it. Around 20,000 Rolls Royce cars were produced during World War I. 20% of which were imported into India. Most of the cars were owned by more than 230 kings who were there.
