Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Dual enclosed sidemounts, Pilot Rays, windshield post spotlights, polished wheel discs. The Star of India built for Thakore Shri Dharmendrasinhji Lakhajiraj, ruler of Rajkot. Lavishly decorated and restored in 2001 to show ready condition with many subsequent displays. A wonderful history, but not particularly attractive, just imposing. Hans Gunter Zachs collection.

Market commentary

The star (no pun intended) of the 25 Rolls Royces from the collection of Hans Gunter Zachs offered at RMs first Monaco auction and far and away the most desirable of them. Even at nearly $900K it will grace any collection or concours lawn with its imposing presence, exactly as the Thakore Sahib intended when he ordered it in 1934.
