Happened to pass it once near the Chattarpur metro, but just seemed like a regular PIII.
The colour does look quite nice though.
If im not wrong, the same people have restored quite a few American import Rolls & Bentleys.

I do not know if anything is unique and I think I remember that Steve Stucky said the car has been made into parts. Search his posts to see if I am right

Yes, see my post of a couple of weeks ago. This is a mix and match chassis, chassis rails from 3AZ60, engine from 3BT135, firewall (and chassis plate) from 3CP30 - hence it being registered as this - and other bits from other chassis that were in the possession of a collector/car breaker/restorer in Chicago. And then the body from 3DL66 put on it.

Re: Classic Rolls Royces in India

Here are two freshly restored imports. These have been restored by Shrivardhan Kanoria, the famous collector and restorer from Kolkata

Re: Classic Rolls Royces in India

Both lovely cars, thanks.

However, the fake number plate, RR2025 does not behove a Rolls.

Thank you, Steve. We couldn't ask for a more detailed analysis of this car's 'fragmented' DNA from anyone other than an authoritative Phantom III historian and researcher extraordinaire such as yourself.

Yes, the car is 181RY, Windovers Sedanca deVille, originally Rajpipla, and now in Udaipur registered RSY 1. The picture is taken outside Indumati Hall in Kolhapur.

Re: Classic Rolls Royces in India

Here are three photos of a 1937 Phantom III "newly imported into India" so the post says, at the Team BHP thread about the VCCCI Vintage & Classic Car Event in Worli, Mumbai on 16-17 March 2019. Does anyone know anything about this car, as I am trying to identify the chassis number? Thanks

Re: Classic Rolls Royces in India

Many thanks to Mr. Shrivardhan Kanoria for letting me share this picture here

His father ace restorer and collector Late Sri Shashi Kumar Kanoria, back in 1968, as a 22 year old, driving Rolls Royce Silver Ghost chassis 109MG, previously owned by the Tagore family (BHPian mbz180).

Picture captured by Shrivardhan's maternal grandfather Sri HC Agarwal, sitting in his Rolls Royce Phantom 3
