May be missing a few. Thanks to some wonderful friends around and some old vintage stuff lying around, coupled with that freak mind to fiddle with vehicles!
How could I have missed the insane vehicles I got to drive during my work, and yet I did. So here goes

67. The Prototype Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle by OFMK modeled on the South African Casspir replete with an MMG mounted on top with firing controls within the cabin.

68. The MHA version Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle for use in Internal Security Duties.

Re: How many cars (in total) have you driven?

I started making this list in Google Keep from the morning, and I guess it is complete now.

1) Hindustan Motors Trekker
2) Hindustan Motors Ambassador
3) Maruti Zen LX
4) Maruti Suzuki Ritz
5) Hyundai Accent
6) Volkswagen Polo MPI/GT TSI
7) Maruti Suzuki Swift/Dzire
8) Toyota Etios Liva
9) Fiat Linea
10) Toyota Innova/Crysta
11) Hyundai Accent
12) Honda City
13) Maruti Suzuki Alto
14) Hyundai Grand i10
15) Hyundai i20
16) Ford Figo
17) Renault Duster
18) Chevrolet Beat
19) Nissan Micra
20) Maruti Suzuki A-star
21) Hyundai Creta
22) Tata Nano
23) Ford Ecosport
24) Tata Nexon
25) Tata Tiago
26) Tata Hexa

Among these, for some weird reason, I don't connect closely with any car which is not owned by me. All my personal favourites are the ones which I owned so far.

a) Maruti Suzuki Zen- Sold as I wanted a car with Power Steering.
b) Maruti Suzuki Ritz- Lost during last year's Kerala floods.
c) Hyundai Accent- CNG fitted and highly unreliable. Eventually sold it for the need of essential safety features.
d) Volkswagen Polo- My current ride and present favourite.
