Going slightly but I had the opportunity to meet this gentleman a few years ago and chat at length about his days racing. He currently drives an Aston Martin DBS Volante. I documented snippets from his racing days in an article on the link below.

The Jaguar is quite a beauty. But even the most chronic vintage car addicts will fail to notice the car first time from that picture

Saw this post by @gvccc_ahmedabad on instagram and remembered this thread. One of the most beautiful cars in India
P.S- What's the green one with whitewalls in the background?

At some time it suffered an accident in Mumbai when the brakes failed coming down from Hanging Garden to Kemp’s Corner, the car ending at rest against a lamp post (information from Karlosdeville). I was also told on this forum that this was the car registered DIC9829 which was seen in Calcutta in 2004, owned by Mr.Shomnath Roychoudhry.

Soha Ali Khan Pataudi shared this picture of the Jaguar with her brother, Saif Ali Khan Pataudi and herself.



The car also featured in an advertisement

Thank you Soha Ali Khan Pataudi for the great photo. Any problem it we consider it for our next book, which will be 'The Jaguar XK140 in the Southern Hemisphere' but which will also cover all of Asia?
What year was that photo taken?
Regards, John E

Here is an XK140 seen in the movie 'Uma Nilayam' - I presume these are the Jamnagar cars in Ooty.

Dear Karlosdeville, thank you very much for the photo of the mid blue XK140 DHC from the film. Would this be film described in Wikipedia as: "Umaanilayam is a 1984 Indian Malayalam film, directed by Joshiy?" We will probably use the image in our book. We appreciate your finding XKs in India!

Here is the link to the movie

I believe the car is back in Jamnagar, subject to correction.

Here is a nice catch of actor Mehmood's XK120 in yet another movie

https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/vinta...ml#post5032320 (Old Bollywood & Indian Films : The Best Archives for Old Cars)

I believe the car is the 1951 OTS chassis 660852, originally delivered to Bhopal and for a long time with actor Mehmood. It has appeared the following movies to the best of my knowledge, plus I am sure will turn up in some more as well. The car survives in a private collection in Indore.

Thank you for these photos!

[karlosdeville]

Another XK sighting in the movie 'Bewafa'. The movie dates to 1952, so the car should be almost new at the time. Unfortunately cannot identify which particular car it is.

[John Elmgreen]

Thanks for those movie pics!
Cannot pick what car it was, but (1) looks like a light colour (2) not an alloy bodied car (3) short rear vision mirror (4) dash panel looks light coloured.
More pics might help!
