@Mustafa01
It s sad that some very good cars have been taken out of Pakistan but worst than that so many great cars have been sent to the scrapers, put on fire, bastardised blah! blah!

Some of the cars exported that come to my mind are:

Lagonda Rapide V12 1937 from Lahore
Aston Martin DB2 (ex-Nawab of Khairpur)
Rolls Royce Phantom 1 (ex-Nawab of Khairpur)
Bentley 3 litre 1926 (ex-Mandviwala car)
3 X Bentley (speed 6, 4 1/2 litre X 2)- Alvis would know better as he saw these Bentleys
Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster (ex-Saigol car exported by Ilyas Bawany)
Jaguar XK120 roadster Aluminium Body (ex Nawab of Gilgit car - expored by Ilyas Bawany)
Mercedes 220 SE Convertible 1965 (sold for 20,000 and exported to Japan)
Mercedes 540K 1937
Daimler Sedanca deville 1930's
Mercedes 300 SL Gullswing
Amilcar 1923

Apart from that, a Mercedes 540K was cut up in Karachi, a Jaguar XK 120 was cut up in Karachi, Omar leghari got his 1959 Ford Thunderbird cut up recently, Gabols Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster was put on fire delibrately......Zehri's Ferrari remains unused & inaccessible to all of us......

Mohsin Bhai, As Salam o Alaikum,
The Amilcar ur talking about, is it the same owned by Saghir Sahab at Jamshed Road, No.3 a workshop owner, who has even passed away afew years back, or some other!

[mohsinikram]

Old timers would remember seeing a Dodge Dart 1964 Convertible near the passport office in Karachi. That car was scraped a few years ago. Citroen 2 CV Safari was scraped, I saw an Alpine being cut up in Shershah, Junagadh's 1939 Chevrolet (posted by Libra some pages ago) was exported, I remember driving my fiend's MG Y Type 1947-8 it was sent to Germany, a 1950 Buick 8, 1933 Chevrolet Phaeton, Buick Wildat Converible 1966 and a Ford Mustang Convertible 1969 were exported to Saudi Arabia.

mohsinikram.

what do you mean when you say they were exported? were they sent by their owners to houses they have abroad? sold to buyers/auction houses? for restoration? or otherwise, if you know.

[Mustafa01]

Sir, they were exported for money!! Dollars, Euros, Yens, Riyals, Darhams, & so on!!!

You got the answer from Mustafa01. One of the founding members of VCCCP Ilyas Bawany was very happy to make a few pounds by selling his XK120 and E-Type in London.
