Gandhiji’s Rolls Royce comes home : Historic car comes back to India.

The Rolls Royce car which was once used by Mahatma Gandhi and the British Queen, is being returned India from Canada. Mandhatasinh Jadeja from Rajkot’s royal family won the saffron colored classy Rolls Royce car in an auction which was held online, in which the car fetched Rupees 3.2 crore ($705,300).

The 1934 model of Rolls Royce, Phantom II 40/50 HP Continental, once belonged to Mandhatasinh Jadeja’s grand uncle Thakur Saheb Dharmendrasinh who sold it to a collector of Britain in the year 1964. By that time the car had witnessed many a special moment in history when it carried Mahatma Gandhi and the Queen of Britain on some special occasions.

Yuvraj Mandhatasinh now bought this car back from Hans Gunther Zach who is a collector of Rolls Royce cars. As per the yuvraj, he is interested in the Rolls Royce car because it is a part of his family’s heritage and it was a part of many monumental incidents in India’s history. The plan of the young price is to present this as a birthday gift to his father Manoharsinh Jadeja, the former finance minister of Gujarat.

The car is now displayed in an exhibition at Ontario. It will be transferred to Rajkot within 6 months as per Mandhatasinh. ‘The star of India’ will later be a part of the museum, which he is going to construct.
