Gordon Wilkins covers the world of motoring
with Barrie Gill

When social occasions and night-life need an air of prestige Patrick Barthropp gets a call to hire one of his hand-picked chauffeurs and a Rolls-Royce. The starlet at a first night, a tourist buying antiques in Bond Street, a tycoon out to enjoy a champagne picnic at Ascot. What is so special about being seen in a Rolls? Does it win friends or influence people? Why is there always a queue to rent a Rolls at £20 a night or more?
