Having an operation is scary for anyone, and for children (and their caregivers) it can be extra frightening but Rolls-Royce has eased that with the bespoke electric model.

Called The Rolls-Royce SRH, the car was created for the St Richard's Hospital, England, for young patients on the paediatric day surgery unit use it to drive themselves to theatre for their operation, rather than walking or being wheeled on a trolley. 

According to Rolls-Royce, the car “transforms what would otherwise be an anxious, intimidating moment into a truly memorable and enjoyable experience for the children, their parents and staff alike”.

It’s been on duty since 2017 with 2000 young drivers going to surgery in a Rolls-Royce.

But now it’s time for the SRH to get some special attention and has headed back to Rolls-Royce after some damage to its bodywork and paint. 

Specialists from the Bespoke Team and other technical and craft departments, to restore it to its original condition. 

David Clayton-Evans, Head of Charity for Love Your Hospital, the dedicated charity for St Richard’s, Worthing and Southlands Hospitals, said, “A huge thank you once again to the amazing team at Rolls-Royce for this wonderful support to St Richard’s Hospital. This very special car continues to bring joy, smiles and a positive hospital experience for young people and their families.” 

Following its service and repairs, the car has now returned to the Hospital to resume its humble but transformational duties.
