Pics: Life with a 70 year old Hindustan Ambassador Mk1

The ownership experience has been a smooth one so far. While the car is ageing well, mechanically, the car is running quite well.

63 Years of the Hindustan Ambassador!!

The Amby came home in Feb 2020 and it's exactly 3.5 years of owning this heritage car! The ownership experience has been a smooth one so far. While the car is ageing well, mechanically, the car is running quite well. Thanks to Bangalore's weather, there is hardly any rust spots.

I have parked this car at my parents' retirement home on the outskirts of Bangalore and it's blissful to drive around the scenic yet good roads. My mechanic assists me by coming over here for any quick repairs. Thanks to Bhpian Babyhindusthan (Souryadeep), he manages to source all the required spares from Calcutta and sends over courier to us at Bangalore.

Seen here the Ambassador parked alongside my Fiesta and also seen is our pet PeCo!

It was time for the weekend drive and some quick checks were pending. Engine oil was checked and topped up, radiator topped up with distilled water and filled in some petrol.

Our neighbor uncle who lives nearby seen along with his 1972 Bajaj 150 scooter and checking out the Amby.

Quick cleaning of the Amby making it ready for the drive!
