The Ambassador was described by my (first) husband as just like the Morris Oxford but seemingly, without springs. On a taxi trip in Goa when a fellow passenger asked which side of the road do they drive on he replied 'I'm glad you asked me that, I have been considering that for quite a while myself. I believe the answer is Yes'.<BR/><BR/>LOL<BR/><BR/>Jenny (Sedge from DSF)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35680680.post-64296481948643303272008-07-08T02:58:00.000+10:002008-07-08T02:58:00.000+10:00Ambassador is not manufactured by Tata.

Long back (i.e pre 1980), there were mainly 2 car manufacturers in India, Hindustan Motors & Premier Automobiles. In 1985, Maruti Suzuki stormed the market & even now are No.1 in the Indian car Market. Tata Motors never made cars till the late 90's - they were mostly into heavy vehicles, trucks etc. However, since their entry into the passenger vehicle market, Tata has a major presence, 2nd only to Maruti Suzuki. But they still have nothing to do with the Ambassador.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
