He used to sport a helmet exactly like the rider in the foreground. Helmets in India in 1950s and 60s were a rare sight. Nostalgia.

I have LK Jhaveri listed as owner of 36LW, a 1919 Rothschild & Fils Landaulette, originally Baroda. Other names I have attached to this car are Lalbhai & Kallranbhai Traders / Kasturbhai Lalbhai.

I am looking to buy a second hand car and my dad (now 72 years old) just happened to mention out of the blue that a friend of his bought a second hand car from Dorab Panday in 1991 and that he used to also service it really really well. I searched for Dorab Panday on TeamBhp and landed up on this thread and your post! What a coincidence. I live in Parel and I will be visiting him today. I hope he is still around.

Wonder what became of it.
