I saw this fairly well maintained ambassador yesterday at T.Nagar, Chennai. There is another black MSQ registered ambassador that is running in the same area, but I haven't had the opportunity to catch it on my dashcam or phone till now. I hope to do so soon.

The bumper guard on the rear bumper of the chocolate brown Ambassador seems unusual. Is it from a Padmini?

The temporary numbers from the factory would be WGK ------ then. Usually 8000 plus. So it would be WGK 8456 and so on.

Saw this well maintained Ambassador Station wagon in T.Nagar, Chennai a couple of days ago. The car had an MSX registration.

I picked up an Amby Mark 4 on Saturday. Will share more information on a dedicated thread. Looking for inputs and helps for restoration from experts and people who have already treaded the path.

I know it is in a pity state but still would like to see it back on the road. The engine was replaced to a Matador one. I am not sure what condition it is in. Would like to change to a more modern and maintenance free motor if possible.

Please share your thoughts bhpians. People are already calling me mad for picking this car up in such a condition. But only we car guys know how our minds work when it comes to cars.

Spotted in Vellore. Looks well maintained. Paint work was shiny, however the colour choice may divide opinions!

Been seeing this one parked here for long near the Besant Nagar bus stand in Chennai. Looks like a Mark II. Considering the number plates have been removed, it appears to have been abandoned. The hole on the fender could be used to manually start the car with the jack lever by turning the flywheel.

Two years back I found "Veer" from Hindustan Motors. It was lying in a road side garage in Giridih Jharkhand with temporary registration number. I was informed that one person uses to bring this type of Ambassador derivatives from Kolkata and sell to the customers. Unfortunately he didn't found any buyer and meanwhile registration norms changed to BS IV. So it is lying here with no taker. He had another model of Ambassador with stretch door and shorter boot space. Firstly I thought it has been modded but everyone from Garage told me that it is in original condition as they have seeing it in as it condition when it was bought from Howrah factory. They insisted for "Fresh from Factory" for these two models.
