Re: The Classic Commercial Vehicles (Bus, Trucks etc) Thread

A Leyland bus in period, seems to have originated from the erstwhile Madras district, but plying the Varanasi Kashmir route.

This is a Tourist bus belonging to RAMNATHAPURAM district of Madras State and as seen in the picture belonging to Bhasker Tours , Virudhanagar. It is not plying the Varanasi Kashmir Route , but going for Varanasi Kashmir Tour (contract carriage on pilgrimage tour) taking tourists to those places

A bit surprising to see a TATA "T" vs a Tristar on a bus of this vintage. Perhaps only used for export ?

A Fargo bus in apparently fair condition seen here. Hope it hasn't been scrapped.

Three pointed star gave way to Tata T in 1969 - This photo must be from 1969 or later. Here's a photo of a similar cowl with T logo -

Re: The Classic Commercial Vehicles (Bus, Trucks etc) Thread

A parrot beak truck in pristine condition. Is the TATA logo valid or just added by owner?
