The 76-year-old Rolls Royce Phantom-II -- famously the one and only saffron-coloured Rolls Royce ever built -- was custom made in 1934 for the then ruler of Rajkot, Thakor Saheb Dharmendrasinhji, and sold to an English collector in 1968. Now the current Crown Prince, Yuvraj Mandhatsinh Jadeja, has bought the car, bidding via the Internet at an auction, and gifted it to his father Manoharsinh Jadeja on his 75th birthday on November 29,2010.
Bearing chassis number 188PY and named after the legendary 563-carat sapphire 'Star of India', it was made as a representative vehicle in 1934 for Thakor Saheb.
