a tiger hunting Maharajah's 1925 Rolls Royce with Barker coachbuilt Sport Touring body, bumper mounted cannon, and bumper hitch towing a machine gun... the unusual uses a luxury touring car has been put to!

 In addition to the standard luxury fittings for which Rolls-Royce and Barker are renowned, the car features a hidden safe, a nickel-plated hissing snake horn, a rifle stand in the rear passenger compartment, fitted tool kits and two powerful brass searchlights for night spotting.


 For ordnance she carries a mounted Howdah gun (double-barrel shotgun in pistol form), a mountable Lantaka cannon attached to the bumper, and a machine gun mounted on an attached, matching trailer.

 Interesting hood handle, similar to the desk and dresser drawer handles. Stylish, but I don't think I've ever seen the type on american cars, american cars always seem to have boring half hoops
