The "body" as preserved (on the left).
The "soul" has departed; and been reincarnated, as we have seen.

No, this is the Jaipur Phantom II - Chassis 89MW. A colour version below:




The car in the Bhogilal collection is the ex-Mandi State 20/25, Chassis GKT41.

There were 3 cars with a very similar design by Hooper - the Khairpur PII (Chassis 44MY) and the two cars mentioned above.

See the R-R thread for more on the Bhogilal car

I just found this fascinating video about their trip, the whole film is for 80 minutes and is held by the Imperial war museum, sadly the clip I am posting doesnt have any scenes from India
