PII Maharaja

Thanks-Henkl

I believe the first picture is of a Continental II and it is I think an ex Maharajah car, possibly Bikaner. This picture was taken at a Louis Vuitton show in New York if I recall what I had seen and read about this picture once on the net. This same show had featured a freaked out copper bodied RR buffed to a gloss. Totally wild looking

Welcome Karim, you have a lovely car, I hope you are recovering well from your recent unfortunate injury.
Just to add to the period shots of your car:




And a few shot of that same occasion the car featured in, which I hand over to our resident American car identification specialists

Hi Karim, they are all screenshots taken from the 2 Youtube films I have given the links for underneath the images. There is a magnificent close up of the car driving past but its moving too fast to get a clear screenshot.

Just to hand start this thread again, battery was flat. A magnificent array of Radiators in the magnificent Autoworld collection.

Very rare photos and thank you for sharing them with us, it is so rare to have a Rolls Royce owner/restorer actually participate in this thread. Do you have any details of the photographs?
The fourth one is a bit squashed, how about this?

As to which of the Bahawalpur cars they are, maybe PI 92YC or PI 45WR 2nd body?
Over to park Ward and Travencore
