One of esteemed fellow BHP-ians posed with them as a 4 year old, ca 1989

He was too young then to be getting married; and I don't see any pretty girls in the pictures.

I have seen Cadillacs BMY-8388 and BMY-6515 (Maharaja of Gwalior) before, not sure about this one.

Re: Nostalgic automotive pictures including our family's cars

Jennifer Webb, posted a picture on FB of her father, the famous Fred Webb and his Cadillac.

She writes

Quote:
This is a tribute to my beloved father Fred Webb. He started the Bangalore Motor Sports Club and was also the President of it. This club had many Motor events for cars and Motor cycles throughout the year to name a couple, a hill climb to Nandi Hills, Treasure Hunts around the town, ( couldnt do it now with the traffic!) and the biggest was the racing at Yelhanka air strip. Cars and Motor bikes came from all over India to take part.

My brother John Webb was a keen racer and also went all the way to Ceylon to race his M G .

Below is a picture of my father Fred Webb with his Cadillac one of the many beautiful cars he so proudly owned!

Thanks KPS.

The picture was like a blast from the past, for I have had the pleasure of interacting with Mr. Webb and I still employ many "tips" he gave in my driving habbits and taking care of vehicles.

Best Regards & Drive Safe

Re: Nostalgic automotive pictures including our family's cars

These lovely photos were shared by Gyan Sharma on facebook. Wonder what became of them - the TF was taken out of India it seems. Wonder if the Olds convertible was one of the Bombay cars.

This pic is also posted by Jennifer Webb on the same FB Page, stating

"This is my late brother John Webb with his MG"

Nostalgic automotive pictures including our family's cars-mg-tc-john-webb.jpg

The car is pictured on a race track, he won trophies, the headlights are pointed the wrong way wither to protect the glass or to be more aerodynamic, or both. Superb picture.
