Spotted the Michigan Bulldozer at Chowmohalla Palace during a heritage walk a couple of weeks ago. Moving this bohemeth from Chiran Palace to Chowmohalla must have been quite a herculean task!

From a 1937 article in The Autocar, we see the Nizam's Humber.

Re: The Nizam of Hyderabad's Collection of Cars and Carriages

I saw the Nizam’s collection in the Chowmohalla Palace last weekend.
Felt sad that all the cars are badly in need of a lot of TLC.
While Hyderabads museums are absolutely amongst the best in India, I wish that the GOI would take steps to get these lovely vehicles cared for better.
Luckily Hyderabad is a dry climate else those cars would by now have disintegrated.

Re: The Nizam of Hyderabad's Collection of Cars and Carriages

Some more digging of the HRH Nizam's Napier orders reveals a dispatch of 4 Napiers. Two for his personal use and two for those in his court:
