Know the block & house number too but that's private info

And if I'm not mistaken this Mustang is up for sale. She's an auto IIRC, right Julian?

Interesting Julian...where will you take us next ?

Anyway, here is a young Maharaja of Kapurthala (circa 1891) on a similar trike

The description of this thread says "Pictures of Vintage Cars & Bikes Sighted in India" - guess that makes us not "off-topic"

Lovely photo Travancore, I got eye strain hunting through jam'd apple style image presentations but the only other exact Singer I could find was in the Dublin's Farrens bicycle museum.

Im requesting for these last few threads to be moved to the Maharaja thread. I feel they are better suited there, do you agree?

EDIT- Julian, how about pictures of that lovely 30s convertible Buick from this Delhi collection? I think the Nabha Bentley was also part of this collection? Im told there is a connection to the Jaiswals as well here.

Some time back someone (Julian?) had posted this link in the Rolls thread.

vintage cars photos / videos, vintage cars pictures / movie clips, Oktatabyebye.com

Some lovely cars on display in Bombay, many that we have seen before.

This contraption caught my eye, but I figured it is something home made and I forgot about it. Identified there as The Bug 1919.

Name:  bug.JPG

My brother in law recently visited the Henry Ford Museum, and amongst the pictures he took was a car identical to this one. I haven't transferred the image yet, but I will do so soon. This immedeately rang a bell.

So can anyone shed some light on this funny little thing?
