It was a world of classics back in late ‘70s/’80s I grew up and its my grand fathers (Late Mr. C.M.Abeyasekera) Hillman California (EL5633) grabbed me in to the classic car addiction. That was the 1st car I learnt the ABCs of driving n few mechanics.
Thanks to my father/my guru in practical learning (Mr. M.U.M.Abeyasekera) I had the opportunity to learn a lot about vehicles both theory n practise while I was a school boy. Apart from the Hillman; The BugFiat (Fiat 500 Topolino), MINI 1000, International Scout, Isuzu ELF 350 are few of them I was fortunate in messing around with...
In early 1996, when my colleague Niranjan (1st boss that time @ OpenArc Media Center) didn’t have a place to park his car, a ’63 bug n asked could I keep it @ my place till he finds a solution...
Since then todate, Beetles have become my core passion, my lifelong vehicle so far.
