GD spot for Fitztown
Oh the romance and glamour of these old cars, no wonder brides often favour them even now. Fabulous. I wish we had been able to afford one! My dear dad's car sufficed, but at the end of the day, we have been happy Rolls Royce or no! Just as a side bit of info, Rolls Royce has its headquarters in my hometown of Derby, but the cars are no longer manufactured there. Still proud though!
