Ambassador 61' restoration

venkat kumar · 18th May 2011, 12:04

Hi Guys
I own a 1969 Ambassador and I have just started restoring her..
Even though it is only an ambassador i have been trying my best to bring it to as original as possible ,the most difficult was the pop up fuel tank cap and the ashtray that was on the rear of the front seat .After a lot of searching i managed to get them from Kolkata. But i am yet to find the rear tail lamp assembly even though i managed the tail lamp lenses, any help in locating the assembly would be highly appreciated.
Regards

Hi Everyone

I own a 1961 Ambassador MK 1 and I have just started work on her I had restored her in 2016, but due to heavy rainfall in Mumbai the parking area was flooded and my vehicles were submerged so I have started working on them again. So looking for all the missing original parts I have found most of them but still looking for a few will mention the list below.

1) Roof lamp switch
2) Baracket which is mounted on the block and the SU carb is fixed on it.

I have a few doubts

1) What were the original shades of the interiors.
2) What was the colour of the block ( I found a image of assembly line where the block is blue) so not sure.
3) The pattis on the fenders where they of brass or steel.

Regards,

Denver
