Of course, my mistake, apologies for the typo.
A Morris commercial van used by Lucas as a service van in Bombay in the 1930s. Bodied by The French Motor Car Co.
Found these in my hometown in Rampur U.P
There are some hidden vintage gems out here. There was a Minneapolis Moline Tractor i saw a few years ago as well.
These were all imported by Nawabs here as told to me.
These buses were in use a few years ago, were used to ferry people for local fairs.
These were imported as School Buses originally and served in Schools.
P.S : Not sure if this will go in this thread or to Rust in Pieces
Mods please help and move it if required.
Thanks

Interesting - TTD usually stands for Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams. So was the Lord a fleet owner too ? And the registrations seem to indicate quite a few perhaps consecutively!
These are remains of a MB truck, seems to be Army Disposal vehicle. Spotted it in Yavatmal (MH) couple of months back.

Yes, TTD still runs a fleet of battery operated FREE buses between various points in Tirumala. Back in the days, it used to operates buses on the Tirupati Tirumala ghat section, however these operations were subsequently taken over by the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC). This
YouTube video, (watch at 05:50 onward) has footage of the TTD buses.
The 100,000th Tata-Mercedes truck rolls out in Jamshedpur, followed by the very first to mark the occasion.
