By Daniel Miller This is the vintage Daimler limousine which has been gathering dust in a Romanian hotel car park for over a decade after failing to start for Prince Philip during a royal trip to Bucharest. The rare and valuable vehicle was supposed to ferry the Prince around after he arrived in the city for a key World Wildlife Fund meeting in 2001. But it was abandoned in disgrace after refusing to start for the visit and according to the hotel's car park manager nobody has wanted anything to do with it since.
