several Jaipur cars had a Lalique mascot either on the radiator or at the base of the windshield, this looks like a Breves Galleries lighted mount for a Lalique glass mascot, with a metal mascot fitted instead.

Published in November 1920, it shows the departure of General Sir Charles Munro. Can the experts identify it?

December 1923, list of Rolls-Royce cars for sale with agents Barker & Hooper. Wonder which ones they were.

June 17th, 1948, the Governor's Rolls-Royce Phantom 3 being offered for sale. I assume this is 3CP100?

Very likely. Surprised it wasn't kept as a VIP car.

In 1941 a Khairpur State Rolls-Royce Phantom II is offered for sale in Pune - it can be none other than chassis 44MY, I believe now in Qatar.

In June 1950 this piece appeared in the papers, a Rolls-Royce Tourer donated to the East Bengal refugee fund. Wonder what became of it.
