Cygnet The Baby Swan Car

The maharaja of Nabha, by then the owner of the great Swan Car, had a smaller version built in the 1920s to drive around his estate.

The body was hand-beaten from steel sheet and fitted with an electric motor. It was called the 'Baby Swan' or 'Cygnet'. Note the cygnets at the front. This is probably the oldest Indian-made automobile. Both cars are now reunited in the museum, like ‘mother and daughter’.
