Re: Media Matter Related to Vintage and Classic Cars

In June 1937 an Adler with registration number N 1212 was involved in an accident and reported in the papers

By a quirk of fate while looking for some other images I came across a picture of the same car post crash.

Re: Media Matter Related to Vintage and Classic Cars

In April 1935 the Silver Jubilee Motor Parade was announced. We have seen some very interesting older photos of the event including the winner of the Governor's cup, the Bombay Telephone Company's display

Note in the results, the prize for the oldest car in Bombay went to Dr. Dara M Dastur. Wonder which one it was.

I believe this same car is still retained by the family and in excellent original condition.

Re: Media Matter Related to Vintage and Classic Cars

An undated magazine article on SS Dabholkar and his prized Austin. They are a regular sight at all vintage car events in Bombay for decades, well over 40 years, and every sunday morning one can see the ever smiling gent doing his weekly rounds of Marine Drive. He is only the second owner I believe.

The Feb'22 issue of the Daimler Lanchester Owners Club (DLOC) magazine, "The Driving Member", features my car in two places.
