To recall a conversation at a local pub a couple of years ago about the Monte Carlo Historique, a local vintage car buff was saying he was taking his car there; with my interest in vintage buses I joined the conversation. Another chap said he works for the Canterbury Cricket Club as a groundsman, knows the chairman very well and they have a 1938 Roller there. Conversation went something like: CB hmm, how much is it worth?  GM Dunno.  CB How many seats has it got? GM One. It must be a rarity. CB Yes, there not many of that model, I expect it's unique.  GM yes, it's only got three wheel as well.  CB (getting very exited)have you driven it recently?  GM a couple of years ago, it was a bit uncomfortable and quite slow  CB well, what engine's it got? GM A Lister 2-stroke  CB (looking worried)Are you sure?  GM yes, it's hand start CB what, hand start on a 1938 Roller? Rolls Royce went to electric start in 1926  GM looks at me, I look at GM, then the penny drops. CB falls on the floor laughing, realising the 1938 Roller with the 3 wheels, one seat and hand start was what he used to roll the cricket pitch, not something he'd drive to Monte Carlo!
