Looks like an Army jeep...one of those from the Vietnam war :)

Yes it is India. The Vietnam war jeep was the predecessor. the height of the hood id the tell tale difference. This new engine was introduced later with the exhust valves in the block and teh inlet valves in the head. Hence the name 'F-Head' Hurricane.

There are a few more cars, unfortunately don't have pics as of now. Two are under restoration.

There was a nice 1999 in the news pap[er a few days ago about 60K kms and for about 32K.

You're driving it too carefully! :)
You should've done that little hill first go with a bit steady acceleration.

the beauty of this machine is that even when you approach at about 2 kmph it really has the power to take it up. It might not appear in the video but it was almost a 70 degree angle!!

To embed you need to use the [flash] tag.
Don't put any quotes in the height, width...just numbers like flash=240,450.

Also, the URL should be:
http://www.youtube.com/v/1o4GUORHTBY

(you need to copy from the Embed link on YouTube, but start from http:// and then remove everything from the '&' onwards on the right.)
