Karlos start a thread documenting the Figoni et Falaschi cars in India. I've seen the Jodhpur car and its awesome. When I first saw it I couldn't believe I was actually standing in India seeing something so spectacular. Gazing at that car on a typical Jodhpur afternoon with all the sounds of India in the air just blew me away. It seemed so unreal!!.

That story about the Jeep exchange is true, I know someone who is related to the owner and he told me the whole story in detail.

Another time I freaked out was seeing a boattail Bugatti rotting in a yard in Jodhpur. Seeing the words Molsheim on the leaf spring shackles gave me the goose bumps!!!

What indignity some cars in India have been subjected to. Thankfully this car has been salvaged and is on its way to being restored to its former glory, and thankfully by someone who knows what he is doing.
