as far as the cars in pakistan are concerned, they still have some very rare prewar cars there, including most of the nawab of bhawalpurs stable which were locked up because of a family dispute till a couple of years ago... they still have a couple of V16 cadillacs there, and Amilcar CGS, Bentley red label etc. but believe it or not, they have a much better collection of post war classics than here.imports were not restricted there as they were here, so lots of caddy, lincoln,jags ,austin healeys, mg etc... even some porsche and ferraris, and an amphicar too!!
i have heard of the nawab of bhawalpurs collection. i believe most of the cars have been sold, do you know anything about it.
across the border there are some really beautiful cars had met a gentleman a few years ago from the vintage and classic car club of pakistan and he had showed photo's of some of the cars there. aurburns, cadillacs, corvettes. lincolns, pierce arrows, delage, rolls royce, bentleys and plenty more. he was also mentioning about haveing cheaper import duties and most of the cars were easyly brought into the country. even today the people send their cars to U.K. to get restored or to have their apholstry made.
