Super find Kartik! I am pretty sure this is the Hooper Silver Ghost, chassis 133EM, now bluish and in the Bhogilal collection.
Dont know which the other Mandi R-R mentioned would be, unless it is the 20/25 GTK41- also now Bhogilal.

I had saved these long time ago and do not remember the context, possibly Maharaja or British Indian administration cars ?

Just got my copy of the Historic auctions calender and was happy to find the same picture there, the cars are from Rajpipla
Supposedly a caricature from Kapurthala, 1923
Maybe someone can translate what is mentioned.
The Panna ruler with Polish royalty, standing beside a Mark VI Bentley Saloon, presumably B78BH. From the June 1949 issue of the Onlooker
Here is a lovely picture of a lady perched on an early Norton. The registration reads NABHA 365 - I wonder if that implied it was a royal machine, or at the time maybe even civilian plates were in this style.
Maharaja Jagatjit Singh of Kapurthala and Anita Delgado, most probably abroad (?)

Yes, photo was taken in France.
The car is most likely a Delage D8 with coachwork by Letourneur et Marchand.
An interesting photo, described as Dr. Rajendra Prasad's visit to Darbhanga in 1955.
The tourer in the middle (with top down) looks very similar to the Baroda / later Panna R-R Phantom II 104SK with the body from the ex-Dharbanga 3XJ.
Given the date of this photo, it is likely a photo from Panna and not Darbhanga. Unfortunately, the Coat of Arms at the back of the woody is not clear.
Thanks to Shoeb Masood for this picture of Tonk 77.

KartikeyaL, the R-R BIKANER-4-P is a Phantom I, Chassis 65EF, ex-Bombay Governor Frederick Sykes. It is a Hooper Landaulette.

On a recent visit to Bikaner I chanced upon this picture, the picture/s were from the visit of Lord Linlithgow to Bikaner.
