Re: The Rare Cars of India - Imports you didn't know existed here

Thanks for creating this thread consisting of a compilation of some really nice, exclusive and exotic cars in India.

I would like to add this Chevrolet that still is in running condition, once used by Padmabhushan Dr.Karmveer Bhaurao Patil, the well known Social/ Educational reformist and Founder of famous Rayat Shikshan Sanstha. Karmveer played a great role in educating backward and deprived people of rural Maharashtra.
This Chevrolet could be seen in exhibition or during rallies held in his memory at Satara.

Re: Pics: Vintage & Classic cars in India

Saw this today at Marine Drive. Followed it for sometime. Even though Vintage, it drove so smoothly and fast. (Excuse the quality of pics)
Can someone help with details of the make etc?

Not sure of the model, but that's an Invicta.

This one is a 1948 Invicta Black Prince.

Nice catch.

Re: Pics: Vintage & Classic cars in India

A Ferrari F355 Spider and 964 Porsche 911 Targa (US spec, judging by the rear bumper) from Delhi. Wonder where these cars are now.

A faithful replica of the MB 190E Evo II, or the real deal ? It looks spot on, but the only thing that throws me off is the little indicator on the sides which the EVO II never had. Pretty sure it's a replica, but it looks so damn cool

These were with a collector in Kolkata for a long while, but have now made it to Bangalore.

This also looks like the Kolkata car which belonged to a fellow bhpian but has now found its way to Kerala.

The one in Kerala is a 190E 2.3-16. The one that used to belong to the legend, S. Karivardhan. This is the only one that I know of in India.

Just found out that the 190 EVO II is indeed a replica based on a W201 190D. It still looks so damn good.

He did, however, let us take one of this Wolseley that was languishing outside. I wonder where it is now.

This would be in Gujarat? Or some place else?

The Evo II is indeed a replica, but is based on the 190E, not a 190D. It is beautifully built and has those stunning wheels which have come from a legit Evo II. The car resides in Mumbai, and we have an Evo 1 replica as well out here. Shall post pics of both.

The Ex-Delhi Ex-Kolkata, now Kerala W201 Cossie isn't the only one in India, there's a couple of them apart from the above pictured car. Maybe even more.

Also, we do have a legit Evo I in India as well.

The Trishul car is a different one, which survives in another private collection.

Re: Pics: Vintage & Classic cars in India

Saw this 1930 Dodge parked at the Roerich Art Gallery, which is a part of the erstwhile estate owned by famous artist Nicolas Roerich at Naggar, Himachal Pradesh.

Re: Pics: Vintage & Classic cars in India

Seen this red Morris Minor from Kerala brought to Hyderabad workshop for full restoration. Its original engine, gear box, meters were missing. Denting and paint work in progress. They were unable to get original engine, so they find Fiat engine and planning to fix it.

I do see listing of the same on Face book. Not sure if its available right now or if the link opens. But there are few sellers out there who do come up with engines and gear boxes. Keeping an eye on those would help.
