Re: Landmaster And Ambassador Picture Gallery

Could anyone confirm if a 1958 January registered Ambassador would have Landmaster Bumpers? Also car has a OHV engine with engine number OEY-000475. So would this be one of the first lot of Ambassadors with OHV engines?

What exaclty are you looking for? I am visiting a scrapyard looking for parts for my Ambassador. I could have a look around for you if you like.

Sharing some images from the movie 'Hulchul' of a 1964ish Mark 2 Amby with some cool period touches including extra trims, a two tone combination and even fintails. The front park lights are split into clear and orange lenses.

If we look carefully we see the dealer sticker at the rear, Sah & Sanghi

Don't miss the original roof light switch which came on these models. Very similar to a regular home use anchor light switch, but a flatter profile. I have it on my 65 Amby luckily.

Never knew there was a Fintail Amby. Was it a bolt on aceesory or did it roll off the factory that way?
