	I saw this on ebay, and recall they sold it in India as recently as 2000.... cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9897&item=4527059267&rd=1 and reminded me of all the cars that have been made in India, such as a 4 door triumph herald (standard gazelle), a MO series Morris Oxford (hindustan), the premier padmini fiat. this is interesting: www.cybersteering.com/cruise/driving/indian_car.html Spot the VE Victor? They also made a Rover SD1, Fiat uno, might have been talk of the Maestro being done there too. One of the most trusted cars out there is a the Peugeot 309! They've also got a Lada riva/Fiat 124 clone called the premier 118NE They have loads of modern cars too but weird stuff like Ford Fiesta saloons. www.carskerala.com/premier_118ne.htm There's a piccy of the 4 door herald and sd1 rover here.... www.cybersteering.com/cruise/feature/indianlemons.html

	Some bizarre yet interesting motors there, I quite like the look of that herald.

	There were some pretty interesting things made in India weren't there? The Triumphs are a pretty original idea, since most of their motors are based really heavily on retired British models, whearas the 4 door Herald thing was unique. The guy who wrote the page in that first link's lamenting that there are no truly Indian cars, and that their all British and European castoffs, but he need not worry, I think things are starting to change, now we don't have any truly British cars and we're building Indian castoffs! (CityRover anyone?! ;D ;D ;D) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
