This car (Chassis 11024) was originally owned by the Howey family. However, they were unrelated to the Howey brothers - Capt.J.E.P Howey and R.B.Howey of Brooklands racing fame.

The ex Rajkot J12 with DeVillar's allweather coachwork. Still showing the Gujarat registration number here.

A tickford Hispano for Alwar - I don't think this is one of the survivors, is it?

Alwar Hispano's are seen in this video

This is lovely, KPS. To see all these cars in period; and views not previously seen!

Hi
Can anyone identify the attached Hispano being used by a Maharaja? Asking for a friend in France. Thanks

The headgear worn by the gentleman looks very ‘Karnataka’.

There are nine "India" H6B's that I have no photos or body / coachbuilder info on. Chassis / Engine numbers below:

10180 / 300,218
10189 / 300,244
10283 / 300, 318 (Kapurthala)
10383 / 300,358 (Alwar)
10607 / 300,671 (Udaipur ?)
10685 / 300, 737 (Alwar ?)
10688 / 300, 736 (Alwar)
10692 / 300,738 (Alwar)
10808 / 300,867 (Rajpipla)

Perhaps someone more expert on H-S can use this list to narrow down the possibilities. The headlamps and wheel discs look British.

There is some writing at the bottom that I cannot decipher. The location (to me) looks more like South of France / Mediterranean than India.
Lovely photo, Steve!
