These inspectors and a few staffers, hand in glove with RTO agents had allegedly given their login id's and passwords of the RTO website to some agents, who logged in after office hours, issuing learning licences during such odd times to several applicants.

Some links to my averments posted earlier. The AMVI's name is correctly spelt as Shailesh Kopulla.

My Landmaster has been featured today in DeRivas and Ives, an online vintage and classic magazine:-

Re: My Lady Love in Black (1955 Landmaster)

What attracted me to this car during my childhood (someone used to visit my great-uncle who was a lawyer had this in dark green) was the white Indicator that is part of the grill surround. It had a crocodile like grill in my eyes and I did not like it in comparison to great-uncle`s much newer Amby with amber indicator, it felt wrong to me!!

At that time and even some years back I did not know that it was a Landmaster. You`ve got a real beauty in your hands, Enjoy it!

Re: My Lady Love in Black (1955 Landmaster)

My lady love in black reached the workshop or rather health club yesterday for some regular and routine checkups including engine, gear and differential oil changes, clutch replacement, that was long overdue but the car had the grit to run almost flawlessly. It also needs a change of its third gear synchroniser, both front window quarter glass beadings and undergo other minor checks. It should be ready by next week.

Blessed we vintage owners are as even till this day we have competent workshops where jobs are done well. Most workshops these days are either incompetent or unable to undertake such jobs or even refuse to have to do anything with vintage repairs.

Re: My Lady Love in Black (1955 Landmaster)

My lady in black turned 68 yesterday. It was registered on 23.12.1955 and hence has been active since then. It was a great ocassion calling for celebrations.

Also seen are three images below from a vintage display event on 17.12.2023 where the lady was in attendance with two Pontons to its right.

Re: My Lady Love in Black (1955 Landmaster)

And I was thinking that maintaining your gen 1 Activa was applaudable. This is truly exceptional and honestly beyond my imagination
Kudos to your will, effort and luck to have honestly better maintenance regime and technicians than most of our everyday cars.

This is special and congratulations
