On the high way one can come across several sights of charm and insights.
On our way to Vellore, this vintage car caught my attention which was on a carriage. Its single door, convertible roof, chrome finish, the sleek beauty it is speaks for the upkeep it has received from its owner.
Vintage cars for display and for the road. I do not know to which category it might belong. With my limited knowledge of cars, I could only place it to be a Morris minor of the nineteen sixties.
As we deliberately slowed down to keep watching this car, many memories came back. I knew a architect friend who owned a second hand two door Morris minor in the nineteen eighties, who was a car fan and used for his local travel in Chennai. He valued the car to celebrate history. Look at the contrast between a popular SUV and this user friendly car meant for one co-passenger.
To recall history is refreshing!
