I was going to the same place again where I went yesterday so will go from this road hopefully the car is still parked there so I can get some pictures.
Welcome to the club Adi. You are now expected to take pictures of all old fiats that you see. Otherwise the Fiat Gods will get mad and send Bean your way!!!

That is a Fiat 1100 Select. Not superselect. And it seems it is pretty bad in condition. Nice amby too. Mark 1 i suppose from the grille. Where did you spot that??

It's indeed a select, not so bad ya ! Seems to be in regular use. The headlight rims are original.
By the way CRV, your directions are hopelessly confusing.
Name some landmark man, so I can go and look for the fiat.
And nice Ambassador, that.

There is a mercedes showroom there, shan.. something (there is only one mercedes showroom near marine drive. The car is parked on the opposite side of the road. not exactly opposite but near it.
The amby was also on the same road standing on a HP pump.

I think its a super select with a select grille. One can clearly see the quarterglasses in the car, also, the side beadings look like the simple super select ones to me.

You're right JayD it is indeed a super select. How silly of me to have missed those quarter glasses .

Saw some 5 fiats together near kalanagar Bandra (E).

Here are some pictures to help clear all doubts. Also, I know this car. The owner doesnt want to sell and he is not keen on joining the club too. Also, he is a parsi gentleman.
