Though off topic the link provides good information courtesy The Telegraph article about Mullick Bazar, Kolkata, where one can find spares of cars both old and new. This market is 100 years old and is still a good hangout place for both vintage snd newer car owners who hunt for appropriate spares.
It takes just about two hours to scrap a car here and with the Ambassador taxi population dwindling, a few land up here everyday to get ripped apart. Besides, many other cars that have fallen on bad times too land up here to get ripped apart. It's not unusual to find older two wheelers also landing here for their last rites.
Quote:
The origin and importance of this section of the market can be traced back to the days of the British colonialists when ‘Calcutta’ was the capital of India, leading to the year 1911 and thereafter, after which the capital was moved to Delhi, today’s New Delhi. Calcutta thus was the natural business hub of the country and it is also fair to say that innumerable items of luxury, daily use and even innovative items that can all be clubbed as antiques today came to be concentrated in this city. This happened to be true of automobiles as well as makes such as Standard, Morris were found in the households of the city’s gentry regularly.
