Many thanks to manishalive for sharing this.

These pictures are of a hunter called Abdul Hameed aka Pyaare Miyan from Bijnor, he was supposedly a famous hunter in the region in the 1950’s.

Re: Nostalgic automotive pictures including our family's cars

Such a rare find, and such a remarkable auto. Factory installed dual spare tires in the front fenders would make this a priceless collector's possession. Again, a rare set of photos of a wonderful auto in a wonderful era. Merci

Its just amazing how much this car traveled in those years, and more amazing that you could join dots and recognize the pictures to be of the same car.
