| ![]() This car is definitely a Phantom probably a P I if it is from 1925. I say this because the front cantilever springs have the additional diagonal braces on both sides, which were also used in the Silver Ghosts to tie the leather strap for the crank handle. All Silver Ghosts and P I's and maybe even some P-II's had these diagonal braces that were exposed until the coachwork eventually covered them from view in later cars. In that case this car would have the 7.7 litre engine. The smaller Rollers, like the 20hp, 20/25 and 25/30 never had these diagonal braces. |

I believe there are stories that it may have been gifted by Baroda to Gwalior, or vice versa. Also owned by Raj Seth at some point in the 1980's ??? Last edited by travancore : 25th March 2010 at 03:51. | |

There was one more shooting brake in the form of a Silver Ghost, Vohra bought that car to Mumbai, and she went on to Sanghi. Either rebodied, or engine was used on an engineless Ghost. The car was in Cuffe Parade in the beginning of 1980's, and not with the lot sent to Chennai for storage. | ||||
