Hi Karan - would you happen to have any images of the family cars in particular? Would anyone recall the registration numbers? What movie was the DeSoto in? Good luck on your hunt.

Re: In Search of Standard Heralds or DeSotos – A Family Legacy and a Cinematic Connection

Hey! Thanks for the message! So I actually don’t have any information regarding the two exact cars as it was way before my time. I will try and find out the name of the movie in which the DeSoto was featured. However, regarding my post, I’m looking to hopefully purchase either one of these cars if there are any on sale.

Hey Karan! Coincidentally I’ve got a Herald as well as a DeSoto I’d like to sell. Feel free to get in touch in case you’re still looking. Hope to hear from you soon.

Re: Classic Cars available for purchase

Hey,

Thank you for your message! I am interested in the Standard Herald you have for sale. Could you please provide the following information:

1. Year and model variant.
2. Current mileage.
3. Your asking price.
4. Reason for selling.
5. Recent photographs of the exterior, interior, engine bay, and undercarriage.
6. A scan copy of the RC.
7. Any available maintenance records or documentation of past repairs/restorations.

You could contact me at sunlit-sticky.0t@icloud.com and we can discuss over email if that is alright with you?

Thank you,
Karan

Re: Classic Cars available for purchase

Hey guys,

I saw this Land Rover Series 2 being listed on OLX, but it seemed to be highly overpriced. Can someone let me know what this car's value in the market is?

Thank you.

Its a botched up job
  • Uses Fiat rims
  • The front grill is not original and very badly fitted
  • An Ambassador rear screen is grafted on as a windscreen (1953 were two piece)
  • The wiper pattern was never like that

The split windscreen was in vogue till 1955. In 1956, they replaced it with the single windscreen as a part of their refresh job for the Minor 1000 with an upgraded engine. In India all imports had the split windscreen.By 1954-55 imports were stopped at HM's behest, as they got the licence to assemble the Minor 1000 as the Baby Hindustan. All these had the single windscreen.

This one purportedly from 1953 has a single windscreen. What's under the bonnet also needs to be checked too for more surprises.

To me it appears to have been a rust bucket that has been botched up and is now put up for sale to search for gullible targets.
