Nothing clear enough im afraid. Surf for the Morris Oxford equivalent, you should come up with something.

An ICE-Cream treat for anyone who guesses this car right:

Year, make, model anyone?[/quote]

EDIT: Thanks Karl, didn't see Awini's post. How do I deliver the ice-cream to him? Courier?

Here's how it should look like when restored:

Whats the point? Awini has already got it right...

Strangely, the mechanic owner didnt say anything like "all she needs is a new battery"

Guys check out this Fiat,owner is still deciding if he wants to restore it or just leave it like that only

Hmm.....it seems to be a '55 fiat with '56/57 tail-lamps.....or a '56 with a '55 numberplate light.....those tail-lamp lenses look almost brand new! The rear bumper is from a later (select/super-select) fiat though...
Also looks like zinc oxide primer around the bottom edges to prevent corrosion.....? Atleast he kept it covered!

Kiran's eagle eye spotted this forlon looking 55 Fiat slowly crumbling away.

Well this car looks much too gone despite being in a covered parking spot!

And whats that sticking out through the bootlid?? Looks like a Saree!

Car is in Bombay and you cannot expect it to stand straight after being prone to rust. Seems to be standing for more than 5-6 years.

Watchman lives next door and may be uses the boot as his cupboard.
