And the Dodge Kingsway, which is now part of a well-known collection in Hyderabad, still retained in its original paint!
Plus quite a few cars of the time- including a couple of Standards!

This must have been in the early-mid 60s and the Nizam shown is Prince Mukarram Jah, with his then wife Princess Esra.

My guess is around 1967.

Greetings,

A pictorial book is being compiled on the vintage & classic automobiles of the Nizams and their Princes, due for release around Cartier event in Feb 2017, coninciding with the Golden Jubilee of the present Nizam Mukarram Jah's coronation in 1967.

Pls PM to assist.

Thanks

Here is a fabulous " Raja Deen Dayal & Sons " Photograph of HH Mir. Mahboob Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VI, The VIth Nizam of Hyderabad in the Napier.

Source: This pic was on ebay a year back.



Blow up of the same picture



maybe this is the Napier in the lower right side of the picture below (Travancores pic)



Has this car been restored ? I dont seem to find its pictures on this thread.

These are two Napiers that have been restored, but as per Travanacore's post there were at least 4 which were ordered by the Nizam.

The two below, have very similar coach work except for the wheels, one has wooden and the other has spoke wheels , the wings and the hood.



Now the restored Napier has wooden wheels and the one in the picture I posted has spoke wheels, I also thing that the wings are differently shaped.



So is it possible that the car in old pictures and the restored car are not same ?
