Amol you are right, I too saw them on my recent trip to Delhi Scrap market. Guess what they have the lens in Orange too." Next the guy told me that they are making die for the Elegent Lenses .

Price quoted was rs 400 a pair. Quality is, hummm beggers can't be choosers.

Hey Manikjeet if you closely read the statement written below the picture in the link it reads as a "Fiat millecento 1984 model". Ha ha ha most of the time the information printed with regards to the vintage/classic vehicles are misleading, why do the media people do some homework before they print.
