RememberSchiff 3671 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) "Back in the 1920's, Scouts around the world were asked to donate a penny each to buy Jam Roll and a caravan called Eccles. They were presented to Lord Baden-Powell at the 1929 World Jamboree to mark the Scouting movement's 21st birthday. The car was named Jam Roll in recognition of its connection to the Jamboree and Rolls-Royce. It carries the Fleur de Lys emblem, etched with the Scouts' motto, "Be Prepared", on the radiator. Lord Baden-Powell used the car and caravan for many years until his death in 1941 and they were acquired in 2008 by a specially-formed trust called BP Jam Roll." He had the car for 12 years? Sounds familiar.
