Scenes of the North of Sri Lanka.

'Selvachchannithy', Thondamanaru, Sri Lanka/

Two old ladies - An Austin A40 Somserset towing an Austin A40 Devon at Muhamaalai.

The Austin A40s were the work horses of Jaffna from the 1950s to as late the 2005s. A high road clearance, ability to carry weight, a strong body and chassis and a very quiet and repairable engine made these cars all-time favorites in the North of Sri Lanka.

An old Austin passenger car, BMICH, Colombo, Sri Lanka.

A few vintage cars were advertised for hire for the ceremonial ride of newly married couples at The Bandaranayake Memorial International Conferance Hall (BMICH), Colombo. I took these pictures there.
