And these are Karl's pictures. The car could
be seen from his grandmother's house, and it
left a very strong impression on the young car
enthusiast. He remembers having been told
it was brought into India from South Africa in
the early '90s by a certain Mr Kohli, who then
left it stationary for years. It was purchased in
the late '90s by Pune-based car collector
Zaheer J Vakil, who sold it to Shroff in 2001.
Karl took these pictures on Oct 7th, 2001,
just before the car was shipped away. The
car was repainted in grey right after, but kept
its Mumbay number plate.

Karl had taken pictures of a DS in his
hometown of Pune in 2001, just before it was
purchased by Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff.
He kept wondering if the car still belonged to
this world. In March 2007 Janardhana traced it
back, in his own city ! That makes a second
DS in India, and again in Hyderabad.
The car, a 1975 DSpecial, looks rather
complete. It rests today amongst other classic
cars, and is for sale.

The two pictures below come from Ravi in New Delhi (see ), who was entrusted some
repair work on the car after it entered Shroff's collection. The actor later sold it to the current
owner, Massood Rangwala.
Ravi precises that the policeman on the left did not stop him to give him a ticket; he was only
so curious about the car !
