This particular car is owned by an erstwhile Zamindar family in Gujarat, they use it mainly when there is a wedding in their family or when their Guruji comes.

The beautiful 1916 Ford Model T, Town Car used to belong to the Udayarpalayam Family has been wonderfully restored by TEAMCSA, Chennai. Great to see the car back to its pristine conditions

Court of Arms


Very rare body style seen in India


Car looks good





Cheers

This is probably a very early RHD (Canadian ?) Ford TT chassis being used on a tiger shoot by the Maharaja of Tikari. A chesterfield sofa seems to have been strapped on to provide seating.
Also attached is the scan of the back of the photo with some names and a screen shot of some information about the vehicle kindly provided by the svvs website.

This must be from the Statesman rally in Calcutta, the car WBP 1833 is owned by the Statesman themselves and attends every event. Last heard it was being restored in Calcutta.
