Cathal O'Shannon reports from the Potteries, on the collection of vintage Rolls-Royces that David Scott-Moncrieff has at his farm near Stoke-on-Trent. The colourful Scott-Moncrieff is a former racing driver, turned car restorer and writer, who has amassed a whopping forty-seven Rolls Royces in his care. They are technically for sale, though he hates the thought of losing them.
