Drawn in Varanasi (Benares) in India. Three forms of taxirides. The middle car is an Ambassador, based on a 50s British Austin Morris. It’s still in production, somehow they did better than the original British brands.
When I was drawing the curious taxidriver told me this one was 4 years old, had fuel injection, hydraulic brakes and power steering. I would never have guessed.

I can’t help but smile at the thought of an old Austin, fuel injected, power steering etc. Imagine the police trying to pull that over
Great painting Rene.
