a tiger hunting Maharajah's 1925 Rolls Royce with Barker coachbuilt Sport Touring body, bumper mounted cannon, and bumper hitch towing a machine gun... the unusual uses a luxury touring car has been put to!


 In addition to the standard luxury fittings for which Rolls-Royce and Barker are renowned, the car features a hidden safe, a nickel-plated hissing snake horn, a rifle stand in the rear passenger compartment, fitted tool kits and two powerful brass searchlights for night spotting.


 For ordnance she carries a mounted Howdah gun (double-barrel shotgun in pistol form), a mountable Lantaka cannon attached to the bumper, and a machine gun mounted on an attached, matching trailer.

  1. They must have been pretty big lions if the Maharajah needed a machine gun to kill them!
