Pics: Vintage & Classic cars in India

easyrider · 29th October 2007, 14:24

You TBHPians are awesome. I always wonder how you guys get to spot these cars. Lately I have to started looking every shop that looks a car repair garage, to see if can spot one of these classics, without luck so far :-(.

Is there a 70s beetle available for sale?

I've been to every Pune rally since 93 and don't recall seeing it before. Perhaps I missed it.

there used to be a black morris minor that used to come for the rally cant place if it is the same car. it would generally stand outside blue diamond somewhere close to the petrol pump.

Spotted this De Soto and Vanguard outside AB's office in Juhu.

nice work Gordon. the Vanguard looks like it needs work. the desoto looks like it has just been restored. i wonder why it does not have a number plate ?

The Phase 3 Vanguard is one of just a handfull left, a real rarity in India today.

Looking at the no.I think I saw the same Vanguard in an ad in Auto India a few years ago....it sure seems to have deteriorated a bit since!

Spotted this neat 190 D collecting dust. Very complete and ready car.
