Doc has been kind enough to share some pictures of the car. Though the exterior has not seen much change, you will see that the engine appears to have been the main beneficiary of the restoration resources available abroad.

This car is really a great resuscitation story. Few would believe this is the same car, lying in an ice factory corroded by ammonia. When Doc bought the car, the engine was in pieces, the chassis and body was lying some where else. Doc has to be commended for the commitment he has put into this car











Just look at the engine! WOW

Looks really superb, where were these pics taken there are some superb cars around the Delage too.

Are there any pics of the engine before it was touched up abroad ? Also any early pics of the car as bought by the good doctor when it was in pieces ?

Fifteen Maharajas on their way to Paris

Today I had the good fortune to meet 3 forum members in Paris at the Retromobile show. A nice selection of Maharajah cars was displayed among which Harit's wonderful original Humber Landaulette.
From left to right:
Karlosdeville, Boybentley, Harit and Bulldogji.

Where are the pictures of the Maharaja cars from the event, Karl , Harit ....please post up

[travancore]

While we wait for what I am sure will be fabulous coverage from Karl, here are a few websites ....

The two infrequently seen RR 20 H.P. cars are:

Chassis 66 H9 Barker Barrel Tourer (Nawab Moin-ud-Din Dowla)

Chassis GPK33 G.Wylder Special Saloon (Bharatpur)

http://www.stern.de/auto/test/automo...n-2088122.html

http://www.turbo.fr/diaporama/photo-...-photos-70494/

Amazing that two of the Nawab's cars showed up....a la Pebble Beach 2012, with two Rajkot and two Kashmir cars.

The language is French but the cars are English
