Unfortunately neither can aspire to be an M.P.; or go to Parliament!

More like a mid 20s Packard for sure and a great snaps . The second snap of the Life looks to be a Ford on water tanker duty or alcohol / kerosene - see the rear curved Barrel holders

Sadly the parliament is running a mock with the Cows and the Bulls which ferry the carts . Somebody saw the future at that time only . With the carts it would be too crowded

Cheers

Karl,
Could that be a pre 1947 Fiat as I have not seen a BOM temporary before. All the ones I have are BMB from the 1947 series.
Cheers

The car attached in the first picture by Travancore and the Black restored Cartier are the same car . Unless the connection is established with the period B&W picture that someone was shot in it or something similar to what I mention then all the snaps lead to the same car.

There was a hole in the windscreen thru and thru to the seat

Cheers

On similar lines:

April.52,
Mr. Douglas Wilking and Mr. Warren Wilkins, popularly known as Wilkins Brothers, have come from Canada to India, during their round-the-world tour. They visited New Delhi recently. This photograph showing them along with their touring jeep was taken at the Young Men’s Christian Association lawns, where they were staying. The jeep bears the national flags of various countries visited by the tourists.
