Having spent a bit of time around Land Rovers, courtesy of Peter, when I arrived in India, I suddenly started seeing all these jeeps that to me looked like old Land Rovers. They are called Mahindra's.
I wondered if this was something left over from the British Raj.
So I sent some photos to a couple of "the boys" and Gianni's response is below.
And the Enfield is the bike at the end.
Gianni's information:
more like a Yankee really!
A Willys Jeep "replica" as it were, Mahindra, an Indian company making the vehicles under licence from Willys from the late 40s onwards.
probably made it like that for many years. may even be relatively new one.
looks like a landrover because the Willys (and or the Ford) Jeep were used as the basis for the landrover.
the Royal Enfield is of course British origin, made for many years under license in India and still made today I think.
lots of them running around India and exported around the world as a "new classic"
