My uncle had his Jeep (KLO-301) repainted Tampico Beige, ca 1975. That if I remember right was not a metallic shade. I am sure names and colours change over time.

Re: Images of Traffic Scenes From Yesteryears

An old coloured video from 31/03/1964 of a Bombay tram moving on the D. N. Road/Flora Fountain area. Quite a few cars can be sighted moving including taxis from the pre-Fiat/Premier dominated era.

What caught my eye was not 1, not 2, but 3 Ind Suzuki AX100s parked there (probably a fourth one as well.

2 Red and 2 Blue AX100s.

Re: Images of Traffic Scenes From Yesteryears

A street scene from a Chinese migrant dominated part of Kolkata. They have become an integral part of the city's populace. The photo is from the "Hamara Bajaj" domination years. A human pulled rickshaw is seen in the background.
