| Me with Mel Crossley, my brother Alan and a long lost pal, Ujjal Rana in Calcutta. This was us at the vintage car rally |
| The picture that you have found is of me and Mel Crossley who was the son of the owner of the Rolls Royce, He used to drive around the streets of Calcutta with me in it, this picture was taken in or around 1965. His father was Major John Francis (Yogi) Crossley. His family are the famous Crossley family of Yorkshire and Crossley carpets. Major Crossley, was one of the original Sea Wolves. Google the film his role was played by Patrick Macnee. He also had an old Bristol car and a 1945 Mercedes. |
| One thought/memory, during the rally, when we came to some traffic lights, there were lots of local bystanders and one of them ran out and put his ear on the bonnet to hear if the engine was in fact running as it was so silent |

Expert opinion is that the Sarila car is the same as the Charkhari Silver Ghost (Chassis 50-UG). It could have gone from Charkhari to Sarila at some point. |
