LIXURY CAR FOR HUNTING

MAHARAJAH'S WONDER FOUR-SEATER

There has just been completed to the order of the Maharajah of Bharatpnr a remarkable four-seater enclosed car which is styled a “ howdah saloon.” Mounted on a 20-h.p. Rolls-Royce chassis, the body is of the tour-door typo, and the whole of the finish, including the bonnet and wings and valances, is of polished aluminium. Bo that it can be suitable for hunting tigers the fore part of the roof is made to slido. This permits the owner to stand on tho sent and sboot at the game through the roof. The front seats are of the “ fly up ” variety, so that quick exit or entry can be made to tho car. . Mounted on tho boot is a detachable double dicky seat for carrying two attendants, who face the rear. As is usual in tho case of cars supplied to the Indian princes, very powerful lamps are fitted. On the front of tho car there are no fewer than five,' the centre one of which is of blue glass with His Highness’s initials inscribed thereon. . Below this lamp is a warning signal in tho form of a bell, and level with the lop of the radiator is a Bosch electric horn. A powerful searchlight is mounted on a standard just off the windscreen on the off-side, and there are also two lamps facing to tho rear, one on each side* of the back mudguards.
