Hi ajay99, the Beetle was bought to the show by a local Ooty mechanic, I do not have much details about. But the car had many original components intact.

hi dhrishikesh, thx, the green Amby belongs to us! Will get some pictures next time when I get to coimbatore but the car has original components only on the outside, its been with us since 1967 and was dieseled in the 80's. It is now powered by a matador.

dhrishikesh · 24th September 2010, 12:00

@ h14,
Thanks for the reply.
As you said that your Amby is dieselised, it must be a floor shift gears on it now naa ??
Is that Black colored Plymouth is still a Govt. of India official car ??? (Tell us more about this car)

Yeah, it does have the floor shift gear. Regarding the Plymouth, both the Plymouth and the Merc are properties of the Indian Army. They are in the Coonoor cantonment and they participate every year. These cars will be used only for the Prime Minister, the President and the likes and are considered to be very prestigious cars.

@ h14,
That Enfield mofa & Lambretta Innocenti 150 are in showroom condition.
Just loved this Mofa, very original condition including the tail light.
Please post some of their pics also if possible.
(Is that red colored car is morris minor or Hindustan 14 ?? confused)

The red one is a Baby Hindustan which is also a part of our collection and the yellow is our Morris Minor.

dhrishikesh · 24th September 2010, 12:27

@ h14,
For the owner's manual for Morris Minor, do check the owner's & workshop manual thread here in vintage section. Someone has posted the link there. Hope this manual will be helpful to you.
Are those wheel caps on Morris Minor are original ??
(Why the front wheel of Baby Hindustan is from Premier Padmini ??)

h14 · 24th September 2010, 18:28

@dhrishikesh
The Baby Hindustan has just 2 original wheel covers but the Minor does not have any! In fact what you actually see in the pictures of the Minor aren't really hub caps those are plates borrowed from our kitchen. Just cant help laughing when I see them on the car!

Do have a close look at them and I'm sure you can't help laughing.

And, thanks a lot on the information regarding the manual.

dhrishikesh · 24th September 2010, 20:29

@ h14,
When I closely see that time I came to know that those were the regular plates that we use in kitchen.
BTW, who owns that Austin Jeep ?? Is it still having that water-tight engine intact on it ?? Looks to be in a quiet descent condition.
