481 looks like an awesome HotRod from front, but the large rear license plate and the license plate hood looks to be killing the overall looks. I would love to have the OEM license plate hoods (or what ever you call it) with those small IND plates for rear and front.

There are some rides on this post that are very cool like the black Fiat very neat but for some I dont have the words to explain, why would u want to destroy a India legend a pure car of indian racing history a car that started it all rallying to drag racing and as u can see modifications Pls stop cutting up the FIAT....

Jus cut out the the top, give the front windshield support more strength,
Make a Leather top with the AUTO RICHSHAW principle of a pull up top, or get someone to get a Leather top from the Car dumps in Dubai, its not very expensive there. A two colour paint Job and you have it all.
I have had experiences with two such cars one for a Zen and another for a Cielo.

Go ahead and make your open top, Please make a neat one

A Fiat hot-rod I saw in Kochi today. Registration is of 1995. Could be 1.37D.






Thanks,
Jose.

White Number plate - personal vehicle, not a taxi.

Guess who kicked of the recent drags at Bombay!

Sadly though, it was nowhere near full potential. The car had just been started after one year in hibernation and I had just gone there for a fun drive. Im sure the car can do under 20 seconds though, as with 15psi and no tune, it did 23. Also, I did not launch as I dont want to ruin these tyres which are now next to impossible to find. But, Im sure under right conditions, I can do under 20 with precise amounts of wheel spin.

Hey Cyrus, 3112 is looking awesome! How come it was hibernated for so long??! Was dad using the LHD?

[Cyrus43]

Yes. HE was using the LHD, but even that was on extremely rare occasions. 3112 was at nashik in the garage for a year till the evening before the drag races. I landed from london early in the morning and two hours later took her for a drive to the drag strip. :P

Thank you for liking the car. Just a quick question, you said the tyres are wrongly mounted, please tell me how.
