Interesting, what kind of cars does VST have

We had one of these when I was a small kid. Will scan and post a picture later. Pity, we could not hold on to it :-(

Another Austin in Hyderabad...

I owned this car in the late seventies, and was curious if anyone here has seen it. It was sold to a family in Ahmedabad around 1981. At the time, the car was fully original and was painted Black.

If you know or have seen this car, please do let me know.

Thanks

BYF would be a Poona registration number series, from circa 1947ish to the first half of 1954.

Well, I dunno about BYF 5046 but I have BYF 5042 here, as a 1947 Mercury in Poona:

Yes, it was a Pune car! It belonged to the Wadia family in Koregaon Park. Love the Mercury! The two cars must have been registered on the same day. Mine was a 1946 Austin 10 saloon.

Hello guys, posting this on behalf of a friend who is looking to purchase a 1946 Austin 10. The car is in running condition and completely original (including the paint). All the paper work is original and available.

Not decided yet on whether to restore it to concourse condition or whether to retain the patina look (my preference). But what would be the cost to get it completely restored. I know it would be difficult to determine that - but an approximate cost would be really helpful.

Appreciate all the help and advise.

The restoration costs have risen significantly over the last few years and so has to quality of workmanship, having said that please share some pictures, which can help in determining the extent of work.

Thanks for the advise Kartikeyal. I'll post some pictures when I get them. What would be a ball park figure that he should quote for the car?

Restored Austin 10/Austins get listed for anywhere between 8 to 12 Lakhs on OLX etc, what they sell for is guess work.

Depending on the originality and condition (missing parts etc), a good buying price should be around 2 or 2.5 to 3.5/4 L, IMHO.

One may (usually) never may be able to recover the cost of car + restoration for these humble cars.

Again pictures would greatly help.
