Actually Rolls Royce used to (still probably does) maintain a grove of trees from which wood is sourced for the interior of the cars when they are produced.
And every such car has a tree matched by a serial (matching to the car) number that is the same for the car that used its wood.
This feature is for when interior wood needs to be replaced, wood can be sourced again from THAT car's "own" exact tree to ensure the wood needed for the repair/refurbishing EXACTLY matches the wood already in the car. Not just a close match...
Also, the cattle that donate their hides for the vehicle's leather supposedly reside in pastures with NO barbed wire, protrusions or anything that could mar their hide if they brushed the fence posts or rails penning them in.

You'd look good driving a nice Roller. And with a nice Cohiba or a Davidoff #1 in your mouth when driving it... Until it broke down at the side of the road, anyway.
