My 1929 Austin 12/4 Clifton Tourer
Nothing fuels a car lovers heart more than a good, old-fashioned restoration story. Theres something magical and undeniably enchanting about finding an old car and devoting your time to it until its shinier than the day it rolled off the assembly line. The dedication, the frustration and the unadulterated passion for such projects is what makes them so interesting, but vintage cars create lasting relationships between the car and its owner as well as within the vintage motoring community. A process that makes restoring vintage cars all the more beautiful.
Today, I am going to share with you a brief of how I was able to acquire a 1929 tourer Austin Clifton 12/4 from Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh now known as Telangana.

The majority of India s population are Hindu, who favor cremation as a way of disposing of the body. But the Muslim population, which is close to 15 percent, favors burying its dead.
Generally, tradition holds that the body is to be cremated or buried as quickly as possible within 24 hours for Hindus, Jains and Muslims, and within three days for Sikhs. This need for rapid disposal has also contributed to the current crisis.
Hundreds of families want their loved ones bodies cared for as quickly as possible, but there is a shortage of people who can do the funerals and last rites. This has led to a situation where people are paying bribes in order to get space or a furnace for cremation. There are also reports of physical fights, and intimidation.
