#2366

#2366 was first bodied by Cann as a Tourer. Later it was rebodied by Steuart. The Steuart Limousine body was removed after 1987 and fitted to #124EM. #2366 wears today a Cann-style Tourer replica body.

Thank you for clearing. What about the #82EU?

The Steuart body is now on #82EU and #124EM is now a Tanner Tourer.

Do we know who ordered the Indian Stuart body, or who was the owner in India?
Thank you

1924 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost (ex Maharajah of Mysore)
body by Steuarts of Calcutta
Chassis number: 82EU
Engine Number: U176
Registration number: R2509 (Early Derby Number)

82EU was originally sold to Barkers who bodied the car for the first owner one Benjamin Sassoon of 19 St James Sq London. The car was signed off by Eric Platford on November 29th of 1924 & delivered on January 20th 1925.
The body the car currently wears is an original open drive body built by Steuarts of Calcutta in 1914 for the Maharajah of Mysore. This in turn was a copy of a body built by Barker in 1913 displayed at Olympia on chassis number 2366. The Steuarts body was imported from India in 1967. This car is the lifes work of noted Rolls-Royce luminary & enthusiast the late Mr Tony James. It was he who sourced both the chassis & body (From James Black) & married the two together.
