Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Welcome aboard Steve, great to have you here. We look forward to hear of your experiences with Rolls Royces of the Maharajas. That is truly amazing! Were they popular fitments to contemporary Rolls Royces of the era? Do share some pictures of the mechanism with us. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Watched Bond movie Octopussy on TV recently. Shot in India in the early 80s. Kabir Bedi and the baddies drive around in what looked like a black Rolls probably from 30s or 40s. Any idea about this car? PS: My apologies if this has been discussed already |

| ![]() That was a 1934 R-R Phantom II by Windovers (Chassis 181-RY). The car is now in the Udaipur Collection (Regn: RSY-1). There are many pictures on this site. The car's original owner was the Maharaja of Rajpipla. Hope that helps |

| ![]() Beklow is the link to the listing for 17 EX from the RM Auctions website detailing the chain of ownership of this car. An interesting point is that at one point the car was with the Mitter Family in Calcutta. There is also a mention of two Duesenbergs which were also owned by them. Would be interesting if someone from Calcutta was able to meet the current members of the Mitter Family to learn more about what happened to the Duesenbergs. RM AUCTIONS |
