For one point: what's the name of this car?

Expert time

Eh..slightly fuzzy IMO

Yeah, sorry - that's the best image I can find!

Another pic (sadly no less fuzzy)

faksta · April 11, 2009, 12:35:04 PM

American sportscar?

Quiller · April 11, 2009, 01:02:01 PM

Not American

It's time for cleaning this section, isn't it?
It's a Qmarri - racer from India.

Here is the car nowadays.

Quiller · July 29, 2009, 01:08:15 PM

Correct! And well done for finding modern-day pics of it

I've since learned that this is a fairly old re-post, but most of the questions I have asked were not answered in the original post, i.e. who built it and what it was based on.

Therefore the puzzle stays and I will need those answers plus what is this car's particular claim to fame for the point..

Experts?

1969 Q'marri by Ravi Kumar's family, the Chairman of Calcutta Motor Sports Club. Based on... Triumph Herald.

Pretty good start.
But which Kumar actually built the car?
Also I said in my second post that I'll need to be given "what is this car's particular claim to fame"?
Locked for you to find out for the point!

Car was build by Suresh Kumar and later modified by his son, Rishi Kumar.

And the "fame" thing... Is it the driver, Kinny Lall?

Yes, it was built by Suresh Kumar originally.
The fame question - what did it pioneer in India?
Locked for your reply.
