A very different jamboree

The story of the Jeep is a rather old one. There were millions made and all with the idea of having a rather long life.

This thought had always been on my mind and for the longest period of time I wanted to experience an old army auction Jeep. Google told me that there is a small town in Haryana called Dabwali where old Jeeps are blessed with new life. So with a tankful of fuel and an overcast sky, we drove out of the NCR. Now before we get to the town and its wares have a look at this black beauty!
