Nice thread. There're lots of classics hidden in various parts of Travancore, Kochi and Malabar together which makes up the God's own country.
Hope we can bring all of them out here in this thread.

@Foby. It would be better if you could rotate the pictures before you post here.

These were originally with 6 cyl. Hurricane and Tornado engines, and were 4-wheel drive, later many were dieselised!

Good Luck whoever owns it.
