Perfect restoration project!
In 1992 I was looking for a classic car and the Hindustan was a perfect match, having a classic Morris design but newly built, with a modern (for 1992) engine, safety features like seat belts and emissions controls. The Hindustan gave me many years of fun and reliable driving both in the UK and Europe, and turned heads wherever it went. Reluctantly selling because my mechanic is retiring and I don't have the facility to fix it up myself.
