Surely needs more input like no of previous owners,work done,deviation from original parts,condition it is now,kms run etc.However check ebay for pricing on similar cars.

The car appears to be in original condition. Some tinkering is needed.I think 60K should be reasonable.

In the above picture, the smiths guage looks more like a clock to me. Please correct me if i am wrong. Also, 60k is alot for this. You get more car for less i am sure.

Cyrus, a clock is marked in hours from 1 to 12. A speedo is marked in kms or miles from 0 to 80+. Hope you understood the difference

Sighted a Landmaster Ad on this website(Bangalore ) 1957 model for Rs 300,000 lakhs! Awsome amount for the car which does not look original to me.

Arrey baba there's only one hand! The other is a printed notation to get into top gear.

Wow ! The notation reminds me of the little dots placed on the select's speedometer - must be similar, right ?
