Excerpt from the book
Quote:

Three muskets fired and while they were reloading, Ananta ran towards the car. The district magistrate’s Chevrolet KA 3538 had not gone unrecognized. The driver was still in the front seat, having miraculously escaped the two bullets that went through his side of the windshield. An orderly lay dead in the back seat right behind the driver. Mr Wilkinson’s double-barrelled rifle and a box of cartridges lay by his side.

KA 3538 should be Karachi registration (?), note the bullet hole.

What colour was the Herald, any idea? Seems to be an early 60s one going by the duotone paint combo.
