chanu	Yeh!! lovely amby my friend, honestly I am not so keen on Ambys' but this model somhow is very attractive. I am looking for one of this kind & I am planning to paint it in oxford blue with chrome bumbers. Congratulations this car is lucky to be with you.	3rd November 2009
karlosdeville	I could only source Landmaster guards, but not the Ambassador units. If you can source me taillights nothing like it. Tyres came with the car brand new, 200 kms. I dont have the heart to change them yet, Ill do it when I repaint.	25th November 2008
anjan_c2007	Karl is'nt that a 1489 cc BMC OHV engine? Lovely car and very original looking. The tail lamp covers and the bumpers in original form will alongwith white wall tyres will add to its classic looks.	20th November 2008
moralfibre	Man, this car is a 4 bhk penthouse on wheels. Love the comfort and luxury it offers. You only need a driver :P.	11th February 2008
karlosdeville	Beta Rags, back in the day it was Hindusthan. Would you like me to show you literature?	10th February 2008
iraghava	Beta Karloose, it's spelt "Hindustan" not "Hindusthan"!!	9th February 2008
karlosdeville	Nope, it had a "C" profile and long vertical guards. I have the guards, am still looking for the bumpers.	5th February 2008
Naren4140	Hi Karl, Did the Mark 1 come with those bumpers ???	5th February 2008
karlosdeville	Honestly, Im a bit dissapointed after the Fiats. Its huge, bulky and slow, but I like it all the same.	13th January 2008
khanak	Congratulations!! Somehow I never thought of you as an Amby guy though, Dont let your fiats gang up against her.lol	13th January 2008
