A very original 1920 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Open Drive Limousine by Barker, left behind by its Dutch owner in Brussels with a very low mileage on it, and sold by the garage in the fifties to the Mahy family, who are the foremost collectors in Belgium.
I found the pics Ivan Mahy kindly let me take of the totally original interior of this car.

Barker Silver Ghost Open Drive Landaulette, 1910. One of three similar bodies for the Delhi Durbar.
Another one for the Delhi Durbar #1664. Other chassis numbers are #1667 + 1669 + 1670, so maybe four Barker bodies.
In total eight similar Landaulette Silver Ghost build for the Delhi Durbar by Barker, Hooper, Windovers, H. J. Mulliner and Thrupp & Maberly. The #1683 was the only one wich build by H. J. Mulliner. After the ceremony it was gifted to Maharaja of Mysore and he converted to Victoria Tourer probably by an Indian coachbuilder, Simpson of Madras.
