From: Valmiki Faleiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OPEL AUSTIN MORRIS FORD WV PEUGEOT SIMCA BUICK IMPALA MERC-BENZ (last two were actually used as yellow-black taxicabs here!) and even a handful of the Japanese DATSUN which I heard came in a few weeks prior to Dec-1961, as had Fiat's OM Tigrottos
I guess Valmiki mixed up VW and WV.
Here are a few that I recollect having seen on Goan roads...
HOLDEN, CITROEN, MAZDA -- Dr. Jack De Sequeira used to own all 3
CRESTA, WOLSLEY, VICTOR, MINI, GMC
CONSUL, TAUNUS, ANGLIA, VOLVO, ZEPHYR, MITSUBISHI
TOYOTA -- Police Department had a lot of these Jeeps, as we called them then.
I am pretty sure that many will remember the motorbikes like PUCH, BSA, BMW
