And what appears to be a 1933/34 Ford - can the experts tell whether it is a V8 or 4?

In 1964 Pope Paul VI visited Mumbai for the Eucharistic Congress. He is seen here at Bombay’s Santa Cruz Airport, riding in a white Lincoln specially imported for him. A full police motorcade accompanied, courtesy the Traffic Control Branch of the Mumbai Police. The omniscient @deepakrao49 identifies the rider as one Inspector Mahabal. By a quirk of fate this 1956 Triumph Tiger 100 has been with us for years, but I had no idea of this connection. What are the odds!

Don't miss the acronym First In Any Trial. More recent ones have not been so kind

Over to the experts to find the source and hopefully a better print?

From a 1970s Premier Automobiles journal - an early Fiat Tourer belonging to an officer of Dunlop India. The wheels seem to have been replaced, likely due to a tyre issue.

We have also seen this car in the 1968 and 1970 Statesman rallies. Wonder if it survives.

A family Standard is seen here.
