My pops drove London - - > Mumbai in a VW Bus with some buddies, with big hair, bell bottoms, and the signature big sunglasses of the time. Photos are hilarious and so crazy to me. I guess I should say almost, as some guys had Indian passports and had to fly over Pakistan..
I mean imagine trying to drive through Afghanistan today? Very few cars would I trust to that journey today..

I'd guess late sixties, early seventies. Would have to look at photos or ask my uncle to know for sure. He did all sorts of stuff like this, travelled the globe, lived, raced, and worked in Africa. Grandma spent a lot of time worrying between irregular telegrams..
