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


Wheel cups are still under resto process





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

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.















Bonus pics of the unbelievable creativity & art on display:

Here's a Mark2, out of the home garage after 35 years!

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.

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.

The Ambassador is clearly the vintage car of choice for artists & creative personalities. I'd earlier shared pics of Ambys at the Kala Ghoda Festival and the T2 Airport.

Now, spotted this amazing Ambassador at Museum of Solutions, Worli. Simply wow at the creativity!















Looking at the brand-new quality of chrome parts & rubber, this looks like a recent restoration:

Saw this Ambassador in Delhi the other day.

[anjan_c2007]

Mr Kumar Chellapan, of The Pioneer, covers the story of the beautiful restoration done by Mr Thanan Jeyan at his Thoothukkudi workshop. The newly restored 1995 Ambassador belongs to Mr N.Rangaswamy, Chief Minister of Puducherry.

In the last photo Mr N. Rangaswamy is to the left, while Mr Thananjeyan is to the right.













Incidentally, today (24.05.24) happens to be the TENTH ANNIVERSARY of the closure of the Hindustan Motors' Uttarpara plant in Hooghly District (W.B.).
