Re: Standard cars in India

A sad news - if permitted to share here - Mr. C.V. Karthik Narayanan, former (and the last) Managing Director of Standard Motor Products, Madras, passed away this morning after a prolonged illness. He was around 80 years of age. I had the pleasure of speaking to him and his wife on phone once last year, having been introduced to them by my neighbour who is related to them (she is the niece of his wife's grandfather, late Mr. K.Gopalakrishna, who was the founder MD of the company). Had even wanted to meet them on my last trip to Madras in August last year but unfortunately it never materialised due to my being caught up in a personal engagement!

Mr. Karthik Narayanan can be seen here in this scanned pic. uploaded by Dr. Anjan Chatterjee in another thread:

This very pic. (and another one of the same car and boy, taken a few years later) was posted - maybe in this thread itself- on this very forum years ago! The boy, incidentally is Sushil Cherian (sjcherian on team bhp) and the car was owned by his father in the late 70s/early 80s.

Re: Standard cars in India

Posted on FB is this preservation class 1971 Standard Mark 3 from Rajasthan. The car has done just 54000 kms and was jacked up for the last 28 years.

Seen this on FB. Seems to be in the original Conifer Green shade and has most of the stuff intact.
Preservation class may be what it apeears, but question now is whether it is going to remain preservation class or get restored- either ways, tis upto the owner. Only hope, that if tis the latter, the roof doesn't come off- if you know what I mean!

This car looks beautiful,it just needs a proper detailing job and if the owner is planning to restore it then it would be nice if he retains the original shade on the car.

Re: Standard cars in India

A Standard Super 10 with its first owner in Poona. The car BYH 3204 was bought by my maternal uncle, second hand in the 1960's. He sold it in the late 1970's.

I am very thankful to Mr Karl Bhote for tracing these pictures from his own sources and for sending them to me.
