At least 6-7 Years ago, there was this small exhibition set up at Kala Ghoda and i was passing by with my granny and stopped and there was an XK120 there. At the time, i had just been given an XK model by my Aunt a couple of months ago and thus instantly recognised that car. And the owner apparently was standing besides the car and listening to people talking about it. So when i told my grandmother that the car was a Jaguar Xk 120 Roadster, the guy seemed pretty happy that i knew what car it was and thus allowed me to sit in it and even showed me the engine. I clearly remember that there were these two huge carbs. The guy also started it up for me and ohhh boy was it music to my years. After the nice experience of the jag, i noticed that there was an Austin Healy right next to it. The healy was a car i had always loved since my childhood and i instantly recognised that too and thus was lucky enough to get to sit in that too..Made my day. Will remember distinctly as i had gone to Rythm House to buy myself a casette. If i recollect, The Jag was Either Dark Blue or Black and the Healy was Black. And one of them was owned by Nehru. I dont remember which one. I think it was the Healy....
EDIT: the Jags owner was a parsi fellow.
