This book is a full history of the automobile in India, and gives a complete study of India's automotive elite, The Majarajas, who purchased many exotic and exclusive cars from British, European, and American car makers mainly before their independence in 1947. Packed with interest and insight, there are 592 photos both period and contemporary, including the 1912 Brooke Swan (bodywork inspired by a swan). This book has been written by a leading expert Indian author who has meticulously studied the subject.
