Talk about obscure Ford literature....I like it!
Other than on this post, I had never read that Japan got the small bore. There are a couple of Jap assembled Model A's here in NZ but have never seen of them.
Model A's in Nepal? In that era, there was NO road or rail link from India to Kathmandu. Everything ended up being carried up through the Himalayas to the Kathmandu valley. What few cars got there were partly disassembled & carried by Sherpa's. There is a 1932 V8 Phaeton here in NZ now that was taken into Nepal from India by this method. Only the Royal family & those well connected there would have had a car. Those parts books must be priceless. Cheers.
