You may have noticed that Mr. Sandeep Katari has been posting a few issues under 'Share Photos' recently. He started a small but sympathetic car museum in Jaunapur, just south of New Delhi a few years ago. The Austin Clifton tourer showing here is one of the gems to be found here: Mr. Sandeep Katari reports: I do not have a website, this collection is more a labour of love by a man of not many means, who has been at it for the last 20 years. I have lots of interesting memorabillia, parts, lights photographs pertaining to automotive history. We have managed to put it up neatly displayed at a place in Jaunapur, Mehrauli, New Delhi. Much to the disbelief and doubts of my immediate family and friends, I try hard to sustain and run it without any commercial interest. The place is about two years old, anybody who is automotively inclined and old stuff interests them is most welcome to visit my humble place. I can be contacted on : 09873033111, for directions, timing of visit etc.

Bombay's Fiats aren't the only taxis in trouble. Reportedly London's iconic black cabs are also facing issues.

Sad to read about it Karl. One of the last bastions of the British car industry seems to be now falling apart. I have posted about this information on another thread.
