Much better, thanks!

Now I feel the third from left is a Standard and not a Lancia.

And 6th from left appears to be a larger Austin, perhaps a ten?

Cheers,
Aditya

Lovely photo, though can't see much of the cars. Perhaps an Armstrong-Siddeley and an Austin in the background ?

I would say Adler more than Armstrong. Thanks for sharing.

The tall bonnet makes me think pre war Morris Minor.

I asked the question on the Pre war Morris Minor network forum, Quoting Chris

Kartik - The top left image is of a fabric skinned 1929/30 MG Sportsman's Coupe while it looks to me that the other three images are of an MG M Type special. Could it be that the three open car images are a later adaptation of the Sportsman's Coupe?

Here is something rather special - a very rare 1932 Simson Supra Type A of Raja Dhanrajgir. To be honest I'd never even heard of the name before. Looks like a really grand and luxurious car.


The registration plate appears to be the yellow with black letters style that we have seen in Hyderabad before. Number probably reads 3460


Pictured here at the Gateway of India in Bombay - Dhanraj Mahal is just a stones throw away.

Came across these lovely pictures at past-india website

Would be great if our experts can identify the cars.
