Wow, that Nilgiris photo is truly nostalgic. Made the trip from Aruvankadu (midway between Coonoor and Ooty) to Dodabettah and many other places in my grandfather's Wolseley 8 (then MSP-9311). The same car in the Geedee Museum Collection now.

That Herald looks oddly familiar. Ram should know for sure

Yes, it does. It was with Dr. P G Kurup of Trivandrum briefly. Was white colour. I don't recall if he bought it new or if it was a car one of his friends had loaned to him (he was a petrol head and known to drive cars of his friends etc.). It must have been a 1967 model - last of the Mark 1. Our car Feb 1968 was a Mark II.

The Mark 2s were introduced in 1965 itself. My dad's car was a 65 model, first registered in Jan 1966. These still had the recessed bootlids of the Mark 1 carried over.

Such a cool mirror seen on this Yezdi in Bangalore. Pity nobody makes these anymore.

Thank so much for this - I've always wanted to get a copy of this book, it should have much insight.

The Kingsway from the last photo survives.

This Oldsmobile belonged to Mr Varadarajulu Chetty from Bombay. The car came from Bombay to Bangalore in May 1969 for his son Nandagopal’s wedding.

This picture was taken at Vasavi Dharmashala, VV Puram. We could also see a Lambretta in the background.

Picture courtesy - Sanjay Chetty (Grandson of Varadarajulu Chetty)
