I did not know Ram Kiran Vvs (Hillram) until the summer of 2008 at a Hyderabad Team-BHP Meet where he had volunteered to tow a BMW with his Tata Sierra during our excursion to Nalgonda District, AP.

Hillram (as he is better known) is known for his passion to acquire, restore and preserve vehicles (both 2 and 4 wheelers) that carries a legacy in engineering and ownership pride.

Some of his immaculately maintained vehicles.

The Candy-Red Fiat is a definitive head turner.

The array of colors made me crave for Cadbury’s GEMS.

He also has a large number of Dinky Cars that complement the real ones.

and symbolizing his colorful fleet.

Hillram’s 2-Wheeler collection (which includes Lambretta, Vespa and the Rajdoot  ’Bobby’) is however scheduled to be photographed by me.

His attachment to his vehicles is well supported by the reliable service backup of his time-trusted mechanics at Hyderabad.

Hillram’s vehicle collection is in itself – one mini Automobile Club, notwithstanding the fact that he is also heading the Media Relations of ‘Deccan Heritage Automobile Association’.

Afterall “one car a day, does keep the mechanic away”.
