This Stan's obviously a bit of a character, as you can see. The background story fits the picture, too; I got it from a local newspaper. He left school at sixteen and went to work on Blackpool's 'Golden Mile'. But he ended up running his own chain of amusement arcades and clubs. Apparently he always wanted a Rolls Royce, but when he'd made enough to buy one, he gave the money to charity instead! Well done him - and his friends obviously thought so because they bought him this model; which was the point of the picture and the story in the papers.
