Vadodara: The 'first woman photojournalist\' of India, 96-year-old Homai Vyarawala has sold her 55-year-old Fiat to buy the world\'s cheapest car, Nano.
Vyarawala said that she 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, which was imported from Italy 55 years ago, was brought to India through sea route.
Vyarawala, who has clicked national and foreign dignitaries including late prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and first woman PM of India late Indira Gandhi, said, "I will book Nano whenever its registration begins in the city and wait for my turn to get the car.\"
