Re: Media Matter Related to Vintage and Classic Cars

From the September 1999 issue of Auto India, Lt. Col. P I Lawlor talks about his 1947 Buick Super. Wonder where it is now.

Re: Media Matter Related to Vintage and Classic Cars

A 1935 advertisement for a Motor Gymkhana and Concours d'Elegance in Bangalore. Can the experts look for images of the event?

Re: Media Matter Related to Vintage and Classic Cars

This Mercedes 190SL has the distinction of being the first car to use the then new Mumbai-Pune expressway - I think this should be around 1998-2000.

Media Matter Related to Vintage and Classic Cars-march-1-1969-blitz.jpg

This piece appeared in Blitz newspaper, March 1st 1969. It shows damage to two police cars, BMX 3000, the 1954 Dodge of Commissioner Modak, and BML 3647, the 1955 Dodge of Deputy Commissioner Ramamurthy. Incidentally I am fortunate to own Commissioner Modak's personal 1963 Fiat.

It is also interesting to see the 1940s BMX series appearing on a much later car - I assume for Govt. vehicles these VIP numbers were re-assigned, we have seen similar cases on a few other cars as well.

This piece appeared in Femina, April 14, 1972. It talks of women competing in motorsports events - pictured are Katie and Dariyus Bhatena in their Fiat, and Bapsy Guard in her father's Austin 12/4. The Austin survives in longn term ownership in Bombay.
