Nawab Sadiq Ali Khan Shish Mahal was one of the grand nawabs of Lucknow.

As per the entries of the "who's who- Indian Princes, Chiefs and Nobles"-
Nawab Sadiq Ali Khan Shish Mahal was the elder son of Nawab Baqar Ali Khan Seesh Mahal. He was taluqdar of Kunwa Khera ( Manakpur-Rahimabad having head office at Arro).

A Buick on the right, I believe. Haven't figured out the convertible.

The first photo of the convertible should be the Maybach (going by the attached pboto)

The dark coloured R-R is the Rajpipla / Kolhapur / Udaipur PII, 181RY.

A real treat shared here

Images of the Mercedes 540K (Cabriolet B ?) of the Bhogilal collection. I don't think images of the car have been seen on the forum before. Don't miss the Packard hubcap on the spare wheel.

I am told the car was with the royal family of Jawhar State, and had been dieselised. Thankfully the original engine was sold along with the car. I've never seen it in person but it must be a truly remarkable automobile, just like most of the collection.

Lovely! In the background is what looks like a R-R (New Phantom ?). Also perhaps a Silver Wraith.
