Thanks kasli.

The R-R in the middle of the photo is Silver Ghost 16CA. Next to it are a large (possibly 40 / 45 CV) Renault and an Armstrong-Siddeley.

It is the Chhatravilas Palace and the occasion was the Bombay Governor Leslie Wilson's visit in February, 1926.

Thanks for the lovely photos KartikeyaL; and for adding to the provenance of this car!

The "Balrampur" Phantom II is a new one for me. I believe it is the same as the "Tirwa" car - 1930 Phantom II, chassis 179GY (registration USA-134).

The second photo is an American car (probably Buick ?) - it does not look like a 1930 Daimler.

Travancore , you are bang on about the Rolls,however Mr. Dharmendra Singh insists that the other car is a Daimler, this is what the former Maharaja says about it

Rolls was gifted to Raja Saheb Tirwa. The Daimler was disposed soon after WW 2 was declared since it was German made and enemy of Great Britain. So much was British control over Indian Princes. Henceforward only British & American cars were allowed to be imported until end of the great War.
