The models (I am listing all of them) - Incidentally the car was known inside the plant as "PP Car". Nobody ever said Premier Padmini, it was always PPCar:
Premier Padmini Standard
Premier Padmini Economy
Premier Padmini Economy Taxi (10 leaf rear springs and metallic speedometer gear)
Premier Padmini Deluxe BE (BE means bench seat)
Premier Padmini Deluxe (it is not "Deluxe BU" but "Deluxe" only which please note - BU means bucket seats - and corresponding floor shift gears
Premier Padmini Deluxe BE AC
Premier Padmini Deluxe AC
PDA (Premier Drive Away Chassis - the station wagon type body was built outside and the car used to be called "Premier Safari".
Premier Padmini S1 BE (column shift)
Premier Padmini S1 (floor shift)
Premier Padmini S1 BE AC
Premier Padmini S1 AC
Premier Padmini 137D (with the 1366 cc FNM derived diesel engine - origins in the VW Golf)

Whew ! See how many models we had ???????? For originality freaks like Karlosdeville and President, I can give you trim levels for all models which you can use for restoration purpose.
