Torpedo

This one-off, custom bodied Farman Super Sport is one of approximately four surviving Farman automobiles out of 120 produced. This unusual Super Sport Torpedo has a history of prestigious ownership. Once owned by the Maharajah of Idar, the Maharajah of Karauli and the Maharajah of Bharatpur, the car spent many years in the possession of India's royal class. With its open styling and superior mechanics, this Farman was a favorite for hunting expeditions, including the tiger hunts.

The car was later transported out of India and became part of the Woldgang Gawor Collection. In recent years the car has been featured in many French publications, including 'Automobiles Classiques.' This car is now part of the J. Peter Ministrelli Collection.

One of Only Four Surviving Farman Automobiles
Built in France, the Farman Company produced only approximately 125 cars during the eleven years the company was in business. All of the vehicles were made to order and had custom coachbuilt bodies.

This example is powered by a 318 cubic-inch engine with a gear driven single overhead camshaft, a dual ignition using both magneto and battery, and dual updraft Zenith carburetors. The chassis features a four-speed transmission, a multiple disc clutch and four-wheel brakes.

Farman's were marketed to the ultra-rich and designed to compete with Rolls Royce, Hispano Suiza, Isotta Fraschini and other high performance luxury cars of the period.

This 1921 Farman Super Sport is one of only four surviving Farman automobiles known to exist. This striking torpedo-bodied touring car spent most of its early years in the possession of India's royal class, where it was used for hunting expeditions and continental touring. It has been owned by the Maharajah of Idar, the Maharajah of Karauli, the Maharajah of Karauli and the Maharajah of Bharatpur. Not only is it the only Farman in North America, but it is the only example of the marque that is privately owned.
