‘Star of India’: The Most Expensive Rolls Royce in the World
Found in: Rajkot, Gujarat
Est. Cost:$8.5 Million*
The ‘Star of India’ is a specifically commissioned 1934 Rolls Royce Phantom II built for the Maharaja of Rajkot, Gujarat. Thirty-four years after its creation, the seven-seat ‘Star’ was sold by the Maharaja’s grandson and appeared to be lost forever to the family. 42 years later, the same fourteen headlight, saffron-colored interior Rolls Royce appeared at a Monaco auction and was repurchased by the Maharajah’s grandson who had sold the ‘Star’ in 1968. The Phantom II has a book value of around $500,000, but due to its importance to the Maharaja’s family, the buyout price was closer to $8.5 million.
