Lovely! Though the colours look darker, I beleive it icould be this Alwar Silver Ghost, Chassis 1523.

I had thought so too, though the image is dated 1909, and the chassis 1523 I think is 1911?

Great point Karl! But I cannot think of anything similar.

Attached is "1442" for Lord Minto (which again was a 1910 model) - but entirely different car.

Leading historian John Fasal makes the following observations

I believe this huge 'Pullman limousine' is a 40 h.p. Napier probably built by Simpsons of Madras for the Maharaja of Alwar. It would appear to be a 'ten- light' enclosed drive limousine on artillery wheels whereas the Alwar Rolls-Royce (1523) was a six-light cabriolet on Rudge Whitworth wire wheels, fitted in April 1911. If the image was clearer, the roof 'hooks' could indicate a fully 'detachable-top' or maybe just a luggage rack support ? Lord Minto left India in 1910 and the Alwar Rolls-Royce was only on test in Derby during February 1911 and made ready for the Delhi Durbar in December of that year. It was finished in Ivory with vertical blue lines.

Likely a British body perhaps by Sayers & Co.

The car is a coach built Hudson,ATTACH]
