Thanks

Actually in many old photos we do see the MY xxxx X series even on cars of the 50s. I remember a Ford Consul as one. Even the Webbs Chevy and MG. Hopefully Cedric can share more.

Oh my my, Very rare to see one in India. Totally love her but not the pricing. I thing it is becoming general rule to add a zero in the end of what ever the pricing is right making it 10 times .

But any way thanks for sharing the pictures.

A very rare car but considered to be one of the worst 20 cars ever built
here is what an auto historian has to say about it

''A vehicle that promised to revolutionize drowning, the Amphicar was the peacetime descendant of the Nazi Schwimmwagen (say it out loud — it's fun!). The standard line is that the Amphicar was both a lousy car and a lousy boat, but it certainly had its merits. It was reasonably agile on land, considering, and fairly maneuverable on water, if painfully slow, with a top speed of 7 mph. Its single greatest demerit — and this is a big one — was that it wasn't particularly watertight. Its flotation was entirely dependent on whether the bilge pump could keep up with the leakage. If not, the Amphicar became the world's most aerodynamic anchor. Even so, a large number of the nearly 4,000 cars built between 1961 and 1968 are still on the road/water. In fact, during the recent floods in Britain, an Amphicar enthusiast served as a water taxi, bringing water and groceries to a group of stranded schoolkids. ""

Well, the MG and the Dodge looks lovely,

Traction Avant is steeply priced. I'am more curious about those hiding Baywindow Bus's, those 3 Beetle's & a Fintail in the back ground

Indeed! For less than that price, I'm sure one could import a car like that from the UK, if only it wasn't restricted to pre-1950 cars!

Incidentally, tis one of the cousins of the humble ol' Herald, sharing one of the engines (1147cc Triumph!)
