Made for Indian royalty more than 80 years ago, this unique vintage motor comes complete with real bone switches and even its own fold-out picnic table in the boot
A ONE-of-a-kind Rolls-Royce with a royal pedigree has been given a price tag of almost £200,000 as it goes under the hammer in Germany.
The 1933 20/25 HP was custom-built for the Indian royal Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir Hari Singh, who used the vehicle as a hunting car.
According to the car's auctioneer, it is the only Rolls-Royce in the world built with a bespoke wagon body and additional storage space in the rear.
After spending 13 years with Indian royalty, the car was moved back to England, before being taken to Germany in 1982 where it underwent a full restoration - and was even dubbed the best pre-war restoration by the Swiss Rolls-Royce enthusiasts club.
Inside, a number of the car's dials are hand carved from genuine ivory, while the seats are an updated version of the original leather.
On the back of the front seats, flaps fold down to reveal an array of original maintenance tools.
The car even comes with its own picnic table, which folds out of the extended boot.
It has been featured in a number of motoring magazines in years past, and has even been used in official Rolls-Royce advertising due to its unique vintage look.
Currently being auctioned off by catawiki.com, the car is located in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and is available for bidding until September 25.
At the time of writing, the highest bid was just over £36,000, despite an evaluation some five times more than that sum.
