Well spotted Duncan.
This from his Wikipedia page has been qualified only today -
He has to his credit of driving more than 40 lakh miles in his Mercedes Benz 180 D and through crowded roads.[citation needed] Though much repeated, the claim of 40 lakh (4millionn) miles is not credible. The 180D Mercedes dates from 1953. If he drove every day for the pasat 60 years he would need to average 180 miles a day. Not realistic, especially on Indian roads. He has won several medals from the Benz company at Stuttgart.
