The era when the Maharaja’s galloped on chariots and horses, the Great Maharaja of Mysore, Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV was vrooming in the gorgeous Rolls Royce which even the animals envied.
16th September, Bonhams London, will hold an exclusive auction where this beautiful machine, which just grows younger by the years will be auctioned. It is estimated to fetch about 4 Lakh pounds. A justified number for this blue blooded machine whose owner was one of the wealthiest man who died with a personal fortune of over $400 million in his time.
They have priced the quality and its ability to endure the road conditions of India. This was displayed at the Delhi Durbar celebrations of King George V in 1911 which included many cars for sale that could be used for the honoured guests and the Maharajas themselves at that time.
The beautiful RR Silver Ghost was passed to the maharaja of Mysore and was decorated by the coat of arms of the Maharaja himself.
Along with this, the second Silver Ghost which will be auctioned by Bonhams is recognized from 1908 and is one of the four models from that very year. Another car restored from the 1990’s by an Irish man is a three row seated RR built by Labourdette, a illustrious coach maker.
Another master piece which was used at Brooklands as a test vehicle for the International Touring Car Trial and is estimated to be auctioned to an amount upto 4 Lakh 25 Thousand Pounds.
