It belongs to one Bomi Patell, I think he was with the traffic police. This is an old photo he sent me.
Also there was this car, I forget who the owner was, maybe Shyam will remember | Quote:

I hope these two cars are still here in AP/Hyd as I believe they are both Hyd registration. I wish I own one of this kind one day. I am also looking the sun set or shade on the yellow car above the front glass, I guess its an accessory or extra fitting for these cars and even the last premier padminis also had them, I hope I should find one sometime for my Premier.
Shyam garu please throw some light on these cars. |
Chanu, look no more for the coveted sunvisor, saar! What are friends for I say?? Quote:

Hey guys,
OK I do know atleast the second, grey millecento (AIA 8721) in karl's pics.- its a one-family owned car from new, I'm often in touch with the owner, a nice young chap named Varun, currently doing his engg. in Vizag. His grandfather had bought the car new and it was earlier in Rajasthan where he'd worked, later brought to hyd. hence the late 80s AIA regn. This car was originally black, then painted to this colour "cosmic grey". It is currently housed at their old family house in W.Marredpally Secunderabad, which I see quite often while passing through that area, although the car cant be seen from outside, as I'm told it's locked up in a shed at the back of the house. The owner's family lives in Bombay since a long time, so this house is let out on rent.
Its a good thing they still retain the house and the car though, albeit the former would do better with more TLC.
I certainly intend to meet up with Varun on his next trip to hyd. and introduce him to you folks, I'm sure he'd be delighted to join the club!
I'm not familiar with the yellow car though. Karl, I thought you told me Bomi Patel's car was this elegant in the same colour? I used to see this with someone in the old city around 2007, later sold (the reason being given on the rear windscreen!) 'never saw it again. 'hope its in good hands, and hope it gets to join your club!
