Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Another picture of the Bombay Buick we've seen before with Queen Elizabeth riding in it. The car survives in Pune. ![]() Anybody wants to buy the full size and share? ![]() http://www.timescontent.com/tss/show...%20logged%20in!!! And though probably not a State car, here we see Nehru with the Earl and Countess Mountbatten in Shimla in a Sunbeam Talbot. Note the blank plates but royal (?) crest. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Source - the vast archives here http://photodivision.gov.in/IntroPho...?thisPage=1480 I'm sure there are more gems to be dug out. |
