Post cards from Karel

An ‘Auto’biography of History

This postcard is from the Vintage and Classic Car Collection in the Garden Hotel in Udaipur, India. The twenty cars all belonged to previous Maharanas (Indian princes). The hotel and the semi-circular garage are housed in the former Mewar Sate Motor Garage. This MG TC, one of a few more affordable cars amongst several Rolls Royce's and Cadillacs, is one of the only 49 that we’re exported to India in 1946.

ON THE BACK COVER:
A TC to go along with Karel’s postcard (pictured above.)

The card, published by Malcolm Bradburn in England, shows beautiful artwork of a red TC in a typical English environment -- in front of a pub. Just for fun, I Googled the name of the pub, Red Lion. It must one of the more common pub names as there were literally thousands of hits.

The description on the back states, in part; "The T-Series, with their sweeping wing lines, fold-flat windscreens cut-away doors and headlamps hung on the radiator, were for many a glorious introduction to open two-seater motoring". And, I am sure that the T-Series owners in our clubs will fully agree.

The card was published by Malcolm Bradburn in England. The artists initials are RW but the full name is unknown.
