This car has been lovingly cared for, without doubt. Not many cars have been with the same family since new. Hence congratulations to the Sinha family.

There are 2 tourers in Bangalore. One in very good condition

Thank you for sharing.

I have a question. How do the owners of Vintage cars obtain their tyres? I tried zooming in on your shared pictures but couldn't find a modern make on the tyres or rather wasn't able to tell on the pictures.
Avon tyres in England are amongst the few chaps who make vintage car tyres.
