The Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2023 presented again a string of exciting cars with Class C being dedicated to "Incredible India: The dazzling Motoring Indulgences of the mighty Maharajas". The following video shows the Rolls Royce cars of this class which were presented to the public at the grounds of Villa Erba (Cernobbio, Italy), together with some more information on each Rolls Royce further down in the description. 0:16 1928 Rolls Royce Sports Phantom Prototype 1:11 1949 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith Drophead Coupe 2:41 1922 Rolls Royce 40/50 H.P. Silver Ghost Open Tourer 4:23 1949 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith Drophead Coupe 8:50 1922 Rolls Royce 40/50 H.P. Silver Ghost Open Tourer 1949 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith: Post-war production was already launched in 1946 with the Silver Wraith. The flagship car had been largely designed from the ground up and was the last model to still offer clients the option of selecting an individualised body to suit their own particular tastes. This example manufactured in 1949 was clothed in impressive drophead-coupe coachwork by James Young and finished in Carnation Red. Rolls-Royce delivered it to His Highness the Maharaja of Mysore. The interior was upholstered in red and grey leather, and there were numerous extras and regalia on board, for ex- ample solid silver cutlery, sandwich boxes, water flasks, hair brushes, a soap box and a porcelain tea service. The Maharani was able to keep her jewellery in a secret jewel case. A royal standard holder and solid silver illuminated crests bore testimony to the wealth and status of the owner. This Silver Wraith is arguably the most sophisticated and uniquely bespoke example in history. His Highness the Maharaja of Bharatpur took over stewardship of the Silver Wraith as the second owner. The car was used by him in 1959 to transport His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, and also the Prince of Wales on the occasion of their visits. 1922 Rolls Royce 40/50 H.P. Silver Ghost: The twelfth vehicle in this early series, which bore the official name 40 / 50 H. P., was given the nickname Silver Ghost because of its whisper-silent engine, the silver colour of the paintwork and the plethora of silver-plated components. The Silver Ghost gained fame on the back of a number of records accomplished, including a non-stop drive of more than 20,000 kilometres, completed by the car without a single breakdown. On the back of this renown, a decision was taken to market all vehicles in the series as “Silver Ghost”. The example presented at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2023 was ordered by His Majesty the Maharaja of Mayurbhanj in 1922. He had the vehicle specially equipped for big-game hunting. Particularly impressive and monumental Gabriel hunting lamps were fitted, as well as holsters for two guns. 1928 Rolls Royce Sports Phantom Prototype: Between 1926 and 1928, Henry Royce launched the construction of three fast and athletic experimental vehicles based on the flagship Phantom I, which were intended to finally establish Rolls-Royce also as a manufacturer of sports and racing cars. Henry Royce wanted to square up to his competitor Bentley, which had run in one racing victory after another. The first goal was to break through the magical barrier of 100 miles an hour. Jarvis of Wimbledon was selected as the coachbuilder for the car known as 17 EX because Jarvis had bodied the world-record cars driven by Sir Malcolm Campbell known as “Blue Bird”. Rolls-Royce wanted to present 17 EX with its sublime experimental sports body in precisely this colour – “Sax Blue”. The colour of the external livery was also used to style the interior, a complete novelty. The drivetrain was optimised and displace- ment was increased to almost 7.8 litres. After a plethora of tests and trial runs, the sports car was delivered to India on 22nd December 1928 to Maharaja Hari Singh of Kashmir, just 33 years old. It was the only one of the three experimental cars to have been sold without modification to a client. Until 1976, the unique one of one remained with two further Maharajas in India. Today, this Sports Phantom is presented in incomparable original, authentic condition right down to its special shade of blue.
