Information
Ordered by His Highness the Maharaja Sir Bhupindra Singh, ruler of the state of Patiala. Ordered in December 1915, but construction was delayed until after the Great War (thus the “PP,” for postponed).
Alas, after an accident in 1932 that killed a daughter of Bhupindra Singh, the car ended up at an ice factory in Amritsar—re-bodied as a utility vehicle. In 1969 the remains of the car were repatriated to the UK by a Rolls-Royce collector. The present owner acquired the car in 2001 and completed the restoration just last year.
