Maybe the same car ? As per the caption "First Motor car in Kutch during the years 1912 to 1915 with its driver Jadavji Bapubhai Buddhbhati" ![]() Last edited by KartikeyaL : 27th July 2019 at 12:04. |

Don't think so Karthik, unless the car was totally re-bodied. Too many obvious differences like the mudguards, shape and number of door, lights etc. On alighter note, the driver could have shared tips to the "actor" about hunting balck bucks ![]() Best Regrds & Drive Safe Ram |

Unlikely; those appear to be German and Japanese pre-war flags on the building. CDM Last edited by Aditya : 29th July 2019 at 17:59. Reason: Fixing quote | |

Keen eye.....but it is indeed the Viceregal visit to Jaora State. In the second photo, you also see the "Stars and Stripes" and the British Ensign. So "Jaora" must have been an internationalist ! |

| ![]() I saw the Nabha car c. 1972-75 near a dhaba on the campus of Delhi University. The riders were four or five bearded youths, some of them presumably from the Nabha family. The car was then dark blue and the hood was raised. The wooden accumulator boxes appeared particularly prominent as in the present pictures. There must have been a prior or planned visit by the Consul Generals of Japan and Germany. Last edited by moralfibre : 14th August 2019 at 15:01. Reason: Back to back posts. |

| ![]() Hi Duncan I just went over your post again and realised that you mention the half track car, I’m not sure if I already asked you about it? As I can’t remember. What I do remember is seeing a half track hunting car whilst I was in Mayurbhanj, if I remember rightly it was a boatback possibly a citron? Are there any photos of it? Regards Allan S Quote:
