Incidentally the 'MHP 2' Fiat is still with them and in great condition.

Hey,
Fantastic video.

First car is the Nabha Silver Ghost which was smuggled out of India a few years ago along with the Swan cars. You can clearly see the placard below the windshield. Later in the film this very same car is being pushed, it is with the hood raised. The car is in UK.

Then comes the Farman which has also left the country via Mumbai. This car went out along with a Bharatpur Rolls and all know who took it out. It was lying with an industrialist. A hue and cry was raised at that time and a few years ago it was toned down for VCC political reasons.

Then comes a Lancia Lambda with J&K registration, no idea where it is now.

What is the next RR, a Bharatpur 20 HP? I'm not sure.

There are smaller cars seen, but the big cars dominate. Superb clip. One should see the original longer clip as well.

Cheers harit

Outstanding video as it captures some important cars. The various marques and condition of these cars is another thing which stood out in the video.

Thanks Kartik for sharing
