Re: Landmaster And Ambassador Picture Gallery

My Uncles Car 1971 model Amby had been restored last year.

It was done by a mechanic, in Trivandrum who works on Ambassadors, still.

Engine and the differential were fully reconditioned, with NOS parts, which are still available in Kerala - piston has been sleeved and went back to Standard O size pistons. Running smoothly now

Some pics here

This is the Original Colour - which had been changed over several repaints, over the years.

Hopefully it will have a new lease of life, with my uncles son in law, (recently retired shippy)

Best Regards & Drive Safe

Re: Landmaster And Ambassador Picture Gallery

How's this for a unique contribution to the Ambassador thread?

Enjoyed the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival over the weekend. We were there right at opening time, to enjoy the empty morning roads & avoid crowds at the festival.

Re: Landmaster And Ambassador Picture Gallery

A really good specimen for a restoration project.

Appears this Mark 2 is of the early 1970s era ( 1970 - 1975) from the Mark II badge placed at the boot. Earlier Mark IIs would have this badge on both the left and right fenders.

Re: Landmaster And Ambassador Picture Gallery

Hi Guys,

I will try and get some more details of MRF 3943, hopefully pics of the engine bay as well. As per my friend who clicked the pics, this Mk1 has been restored painstakingly just in time for the wedding.

Just referencing to this post by Mr Anjan, in the first picture of the white Ambassador mk 2, i(mage by MrAbhay Sinha), on a close observation, there appears to be a logo on the grille, which I presume was issued by Tata Steel (erstwhile TISCO). These badges were issued by TISCO as identification for parking the vehicles in offices and residential areas.
Can you please confirm, if possible whether the car belongs/ belonged to a TISCO official.
