Solved - NEH 1897: Diesel Indian home-built based on Hindustan Ambassador
« on: June 29, 2012, 06:07:41 AM »
I don't suppose this car has a name so to earn a point all I need is: where was it built and what was it based on?

ANYONE FOUND GIVING ANSWERS GLEANED BY USING GOOGLE SEARCH BY IMAGE WILL BE BANNED FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD!

Does that mean a British car built under licence in India like a Hindustan Ambassador?

The best bet would be the Standard Herald with its separate chassis

Logical guess but in fact you were spot on first time..
I just thought I'd give you the chance to actually say the Ambassador!
Let's call it solved!

As it was a blind guess based on the previous responses, I suggest I don't deserve a point.

That's how it works sometimes.
You may or may not deserve the point but you're getting it anyway!
