This Rolls Royce, popularly known as the “Star of India†is a one-off 1934 Phantom II 40/50 HP Continental “All-Weather Convertible†that was custom made for the Maharaja of Rajkot.
The car was in the collection of Hans-Günther Zach, who had his own museum in Mühlheim, Germany and is now selling off the entire collection.
The “Star of India†alone is expected to fetch a sum of €10 Million ($14.1 million); if it does that would make it the most expensive car in the world.
The private museum totals 27 cars (24 Rolls-Royces, 3 Bentleys), most of them pre-War – although it also includes many later classics of the ‘British Empire’ period.
