![]() I wonder how one makes a U turn with a wheel like that though. Tell us more about the blue cabrio. Very pretty looking car, I was told it is a one owner car still in original paint! Can you confirm that? | |

Do you know the Chassis # for the Poownawalla PIII (Panchkote)? "The Derby Phantoms" book lists Chassis # 3CM37 (delivered to Panchkote, January 1938) as a Saloon by Park Ward. Hence the story of the top being chopped off may be true! Thanks for asking me to write my Intro! I will, for right now, thought I should focus on the cars!!!

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() The chop top part of it is no story for sure. It is such a crude design one can instantly tell. But nice that we now have confirmation as well. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The light blue and dark blue combo RR is a PIII with Mr. Sanghi. I think the smaller RR is with him too if I remember (maybe wrong about the smaller car though, Ajit can clarify) Last edited by DKG : 27th March 2008 at 16:32. |

| ![]() Deepak, the bigger car is the Sanghi car. The dark blue car is believed to be an ex Jaipur car. The owner lives in Coimbatore, and that's what he told me. A nice car. |
