Glasgow council to chauffeur SNP ceremonial chief in luxury Rolls-Royce

GLASGOW’S council will ferry round its SNP ceremonial chief in a “show-stopping” Rolls-Royce luxury car — while slashing access to public services.

Announcing that it had been given by an anonymous donor today, Lord Provost Eva Bolander said the Rolls-Royce Ghost would help Scotland’s largest city “show its best face to the world.”

Its value has been placed at between £150,000 and £235,000 and it will carry the personalised numberplate G0. The council said it would replace one of the Volkswagen Phaeton cars used by civic officials and it is expected to “save the city money.”
