or even, for a more reasonable price, the one on the Skoda Superb…. A damn fine car for very little money (and then one can afford the chauffeur…)

Lee, I like that. Any part numbers or anything on it?

Don't forget the passat. It has the same system as the Skoda.
I do wonder how they cope with drying a used umbrella.

I expect the Rolls has a humidity sensor and drying function built in to the storage slot.

I've got one of those big fitted plastic boot liners, the big umbrella just slides down one side under the lip, tip forwards - secure and easy to reach.

I like the Dunlop idea, but it takes way to much space for me.
I will get some pictures over the weekend to show you my boot storage idea
