'Its new owner, from Poole in Dorset, said he bought the vehicle over the telephone "on a whim", but now his plans to hire it out for weddings and children's parties are ruined.'

Would kids have even heard of him?

Perhaps there are some kids in Royston Vasey that are JS fans?

Perhaps the 'winner' of the charity auction thought it belonged to JLS?

Is that 'limited edition' Roller some pre-BMW and VW buyout Bentley Continental Cabrio with a Rolls grill on it?

Nothing like a campervan to keep prying eyes away.
If the van's a rockin, don't come knockin.
