The huge car in front seems to be a Renault. I am not too sure which one though. The sloped front on the bonnet is typical of Renault.

It is a Renault for sure, these were made up to 1931 in one form or the other, but with the same alligator bonnet.

This could be in Burma, maybe RA... = Rangoon? The clothing is not Keralite or Tamil, it appears to be more east of India.

This Vauxhall was located in Assam, so the back of the pic says. Registration also starts with an A.

Thanks to KPS for telling me about this picture.

A scene straight out of a Hollywood movie.

A rather sad picture of the aftermath of the Bombay explosion, 1944 at the Victoria docks.

Find more details here

Re: Nostalgic automotive pictures including our family's cars

Found this old photo of a hunting party taken not too far (~150-300km) from Bombay, circa 1930s. I'm guessing the decade based on my grandfather's age; he is seated on the front bumper. Any guesses what the vehicle may be?
