Not in India but in chor bazaar mebbe. Try and speak to a few vintage car owners in Bombay. Gogi a.k.a. American V-16 is your best bet. He knows the history of most of Bombay cars. Your next best authority of the car is Karlosdeville. He will tell you the registration number even without asking any further details.

How much the enitre restoration will cost?
Depends on how much you can spend. What I learned from restorers and people who get their cars restored is there is no limit to how much you can spend on restoration. Trust me. You cannot allocate a budget. Believe me its a never ending process. Take a look at the dedication it takes by seeing Karl's Beetle restoration. And the day it is done and you crank the car it brings you happiness that nothing else on this world does!

Try to ensure that the papers are in order otherwise it becomes really difficult.

but guyz please let me know the apporx budget how much it should cost to rebuild this car..
Try and post a few pictures of the current state and then Karl can assess he can tell you if the rubbers on the door are original or not by just seeing the pictures. He is a distinguished bhp-ian in my own view. Pester day lights out of him.
