bhai it looked like a 60's model am not too good with the series but it looked the same as mallya's seen that car up close and personal. ishan has the pictures told him to show it to you as i have no interest in the car. took him to my guy here where there were lots of cars. i dont know if it is original convertible or a chopped top i think its a chopped job but you would know better. i have five cars that i want to pick up from there. so the mercedes has no place in the list. we also saw a few willy's jeeps

same here bhai felt at home talking to you after ages. there are two low bonnets. already had you in mind. the person was out of town so will talk to him on monday. i am picking up five cars from him and the low bonnet and the mercedes if you think its original and you like it and are up for one more restoration job then the total would be seven cars from him

Hi V 16 ,

Seems we are renovating similar cars . My Mercedes is at the same stage of restoration as yours and I have also started work on a low bonnet Willys. Also taking delivery of a Plymouth Special Deluxe later tonight ( it's on a truck now ) sourced from a Police auction at Kanpur . By the way this is the second car I have sourced from a police auction the last was a Studebaker involved in a Narcotic case and acquired 6 months back.

Pray tell me how does one go about procuring cars from a police auction??

wow lucky you. i would like to know too how does one go about knowing which cars are there and how could one precure the car from these auctions. i'm sure the cars would have been in bad shape and alot of work involved. great going.
