A 96-year-old 'first woman press Photographer' Homai Vyarawala staying in the city, has sold her 55-year-old original Fiat car for buying Tata's Nano car launched yesterday.
Vyarawala said that she has sold her Fiat car to a vintage car lover in Mumbai after she found it difficult to get it repaired.
She said that the Fiat car was imported from Italy 55 years ago and was brought to India through sea route. Vyarwala, a 'first woman press photographer' has clicked photographs of late prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, late Indira Gandhi, late Morarji Desai and other dignitaries and foreign dignitaries visiting the country. Her album contains photographs clicked by her.
Vyarawala said, "I will book Nano car whenever its registration begins in the city and wait for my turn to get the car."
The allotment of car is to take place by draw and she is hopeful of emerging luckier in getting this car, so that she could drive the car. "She, however, made it clear that she is not in favour of approaching Ratan Tata to get this car out of turn.
She has been staying alone in her residence in the Nizampura locality of the city.
