The structure of the entry gate and the temple looks like Birla Mandir, though I am also not sure about it. Cheers! Irish ![]() | |

Mohammed Bhai .....please share interesting stories of other great cars you can remember from the old Hyderabad. I am particularly curious to know what kind of cars were being yoused by the last few British Residents of Hyd or what used to be part of the Residency Fleet and what happened to these cars ? | |

| ![]() Technically not a Rashtrapathi Bhavan / State car, but surely wheels of a nascent nation. Taken during the visit of Saudi King to Agra 1955. Does this Sheerline exist (maybe in the Army) ? Is she wearing a CD plate ? ![]() Last edited by travancore : 28th October 2013 at 03:58. |

BMZ 7867 is a circa '49-ish Bombay plate, and a handful of these do still survive. I believe when the King visited in '55, he gifted a few cars around as well, including a Cadillac to and still with Syedna, and a sister car still in Bombay. | |

The Austin Sheerline with the Army in Calcutta sports military number plates (Broad Arrow number plate), plus it's a standard saloon, while the BMZ-plated one in the pic here is a LWB limousine - so they are two different cars. You may read up about the Army car in Fort William, Calcutta maintained by the Eastern Command in my old post here: http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/vintag...ml#post1210960 | ||
