Team-BHP - Finally, I'm a BHPian!

Hello everyone,
This September has turned out to be the best September I have had in my 'AUTO' life.

I finished restoring my Gypsy King Carb,
I bought a 1966 Standard Herald Mark II and started restoring it,
I also started restoring my grandfather's 1952 Morris Minor,
After 4 years of trying I finally got my teambhp membership approved.
And all the above happened this September.:Cheering:

I'm Amair, 31 years of age, from Kolkata, West Bengal. I'm fascinated by cars, antiques, gadgets, gaming and shooting. For the last four to five years I have been a avid reader of this forum. Whenever I'm confused about anything relating to automobiles Teambhp is the place I always turn to. I've been a car lover since childhood. I got this trait from my father who is a Vintage/Classic car enthusiast and have previously owned some classic and vintage cars. Namely Morris Oxford, Adler, 3 Baby Austins, and my grandfather's Morris Minor.

Finally a very big thanks to the moderators of TeamBhp for approving my membership and allowing me to be part of the Team-BHP family. I'm really looking forward to learn from the forum and contribute to it.

Regards
Amair

Welcome Amair,

You should really visit the Vintage and Classic car section.
https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/vinta...lassics-india/

Guys like Karlosdeville, Julian, KPS, etc. can offer a wealth of information.

Have you finished the Standard Herald or Morris Minor yet?

I am restoring both of them. Will be getting my Standard Herald within 15 to 20 days. It was mechanically quite good when i bought it. As for the Morris Minor, Engine Overhaul is done, tinkering and paint job is ongoing. I am trying to source a few parts.

Welcome onboard Sir! Have a nice time.

We have our very own Kolkata Team-BHP chapter and we meet quite often. Please do join us, I would love to meet you.

Your garage is awesome and am sure its a cause of envy for many like us. I don't know much about classics, but your Gypsy just looks beautiful! She's very tastefully done up and I would love to have a ride.:D
Where was the Gypsy restored?

All the best. Plan to meet you soon.

Keep revvin'
Neel
