The Nawab of Bhopal's Game Hunting Car
A sports model six-cylinder Bentley with many novel features

The car is particularly imposing and carries no fewer than eleven lamps. Two Vee type screens are fitted and the body is oil-finished in a grain imitation of natural wood.

The windscreen folds forward to allow the occupants to shoot over the bonnet. Ammunition and revolvers are carried in the door pockets.

Two searchlights are mounted on telescopic standards on each side of the dickey seat, and 100 yards of cable is carried on reels on the running boards.
