Interesting ad! But not sure if the moped was as well! :)
Aside, does it say Chennai or Madras in the ad btw?

Hello Anjan,
Do you happen to have a owner's manual/brochure/Spec sheet of the LML Vespa XE from the 1980s? |
Hello friend, No, I do not have a manual or brochure for the Vespa XE.
Assuming this is an Illustrated Weekly of India advertisement
An Ambassador OHV advertisement (through FB friend Mr Manoj Kumar). They use Hindusthan here and not Hindustan. HM in its later years preferred "Hindustan" without the "h".

Here is a Premier range leaflet that I haven't seen before, appears to show some parts of the plant as well. Note the blue wagon parked outside the main building.
Note the last item in the range - Premier Prince industrial engines. Many years back I had seen a big lot of them in the scrap market - as good as new, painted in olive drab - they presumably had some military application. I wish I had the foresight to buy one of them, I doubt any survive. I did pick up the tappet cover though, which had the Prince script lettering on it.
A rare leaflet for the Bajaj Tempo 'Hanseat' - this one is undated but I assume late 70s/80s? Already diesel, and the Hanseat name not used as well.

Yamaha RX 100's advertisement in one the leading Gujarati Magazine "Chitralekha". Year 1987.

Found this Kinetic Honda advertisement in one of the very old magazines. A comfortable and convenient switch over from car, a Kinetic Honda! Really?

This advertisement is not related to Car. It is a shipping company advertisement. Scindia Steam Navigation Company.
Quote:
The Scindia Steam Navigation Company was one of the oldest Indian shipping companies. Founded in 1919, It was the first large-scale Indian owned shipping company and started an India — Europe service with the Loyalty (ex-RMS Empress of India), but was forced to sign a 10-year agreement with British companies and its shipping route was restricted to the Indian coastal shipping trade for this period.

These 2 ads were recently shared on the Calcutta facebook page - for Motor Insurance, and the 1938 Chevrolet models, by Allen Berry.

Firestone Tyres advertisement from the year 1961. This Advisement was on an Old Gujarati Monthly magazine.

An old 1935 advertisement replicated by the Times of India in 1997

Two W 123's featured in advertisements :
(India Today early 1980's in an automotive paint advertisement)
(Time magazine 1970's Mercedes Benz advertisement)
Hey Anjan, if I am not mistaken, that's not a W123 but a W116 S Class.
