I bet the current Maharaj's school drive was a long one each day. any idea to which other Maharajas did the other V16's belong to...?? How many in all came to India?

will ask whenever i meet him next, apart from orchha and Tikari, i know that Bhawalpur had a pair of V16, at least one of them was still with the family(in pakistan now) till a couple of years ago. i have also met old timers who claim to remember a Marmon V16 in Bombay, but I cant confirm that..
P.S. the Tikari V16 and the Patiala V16 are the same car, it was apparently gifted to HH Tikari by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala
