| Team-BHP Support   | It may have something to do with the 7.30am Sunday morning time  But still you're right, would expect more people to turn up considering this is an enthusiasts site! |

| Distinguished - BHPian   | heres a few of mine, since most have been covered these are just a few of my favs... 1934 Alvis Speed 25 of Vijay mallya...breathtaking and my pick of the show...   1934 Avon SS of George Soans. A fascinating restoration is documented here 10/12 Avon Restoration Progress  Assortment of british iron...  lineup of cars at the Kala ghoda  1947 Chrysler New Yoker long wheelbase...note the ghastly paintjob, bumpers and everything! the car had an ugly ac fitted as well, and incorrect switches on the dash, wrong front trim and badges...and won a prize! im shocked...  1947 Citroen traction. Fabulous condtion.  1936 Daimler. Needed some work, and i think its a double six, looking at the size...  1939 Dodge Roadster...i found it rather ungainly, though brilliant restoration...  1985 Ferrari Mondian QV...atleast thats wat the entry says...one of two ferraris at the event.  a neat 55 Dukkar...  Feroze Mehta at his best with his 63 fiat whch i drove for the rally...   Fantastic Westland Healey...had seen this car before restoration, u wont believe the work gone into it...  1947 indian Chief  1948 Lincoln V 12 continental  72 maserati of vijay Mallya  1934 Mercedes 500 k  |

| Senior - BHPian  | Great Pics Karl. A few points, I think thee Ferrari guys meant "MONDIAL" Was that limo a Ney Yorker or a Windsor? and the correct no of entries is 124 cars and 50 Bikes....not 124 including bikes as i had earlier mentioned! WOW!!  i think it was afirst of sorts.The best restored prize went to the Jaguar SS and the Second best went to the 39 Dodge roadster, Even I cant make out what (why and who) went into the judging. |

yeah, like i said, the ferrari was entered with that name so i couldnt resist... the long wheelbase chrysler was a new yorker with a windsor badge...i didnt see the engine so i dunno if it still has the original 8 cyl... terrific number of entries no doubt...wish the venue could take the crowds better... The jag u speak of was the silver and metallic orange one? I dont belive it...while i didnt get a close look at it, awarding a prize to a car in such wrong colours just isnt on...! it wasnt even an SS to begin with...sigh...lights, mirrors and tyres are wrong too... did the merc, alvis get anythin?

There was a long wheel base windsor featured in the movie HUM which was available for shoots for movies. I dunno if it is the same car, was rotting away in Goregaon for quite a while along with several buicks (the open top tourer in 1942 A LOVE STORY) and the mustang (Adalat and many of Amitabh's movies and some recent other films where the top was unceremoniously chopped off. This is the one at team motor works at juhu i think and hes buggered it up more) The Healey and the 500K both won the concours de elegance (well desereved, especially since on about 64 odd healey westlands were ever made) And even im confused as to what the Jag actually was? Not deserving the First prize at least. The Adler was much better restored....but what can we say.....!!! I likes the 11ood and I think its about time one started collecting these too as soon none will be available. | |
