What a sweet Fiat! the head lights seem to be too large for the scale of the car, any comments?

Girish, these cars have bee posted by me before. The garage owner literally lives for these two beauties, And loves it when anybody questions him about it. Real nice cars, and well loved for.

agree:, he loves the car so much, he starts the cars every day and loves to speak about the repairs he done and the parts he sourced.
I visited him 3 times.

sweet findings , the head lamps are gorgeous

I think the fiat is a balilla :)

Girish, was searching for this thread after spotting exactly those two cars in Kannur last week. But I had no camera. The cars loked soooo lovely. I was searching for a shop which closes at 5.30, and the time was 5.25PM already. I was almost running, and then see these two cars. I stopped, saw the owner, smiled, and decided to talk to him while on way back, after finishing my business. On way back, the whole shop was untreaceable. (not faimilar with Fort Road).

Is this place between Railway station and SBI or after the SBI?

yes it is a ballela fiat saloon.regd noKLC-700

I think its before the SBI, when you come out of the railway station, turn left for about 150mtrs and turn right (main road), after 300-400mtrs, before the cantonment school, this workshop lies on the left side, pretty old workshop with no name board, rusty doors with two beasts inside :)

And it's obviously him who's buggered it up, especially the tail-fins! What a pity!! :Frustrati

Of course, 4-door Heralds don't command much value...nor do Gazels. But still...!

The STANDARD lettering on the bootlid looks nice- I wish stampro (Madras) had thought of this on some of their later cars. But it should've occured to the owner to fit it either above or below the no. plate light! :deadhorse
