Or, as is the case with most Royal family cars (or also maybe due to the fact that the Nizam initially wasnt too happy about Hyderabad being included in AP), they were most likely 'officially' registered much later.

I will post details of when the display is open for viewing. I have recommended they be enclosed in a glass showcase and this is being done right now.

From what I gather APX referred to Hyderabad city and APY corresponded to suburbs or "Atraaf Baldiya" as was termed. Which means both APX and APY co existed. APX apparently was succeeded by ADX. Do please confirm this as this is what I was told by an oldtimer.

Banjara Hills where Chiraan is located comes under Sheikhpet village
