Man buried in vintage Morris Minor

An Indian farmer loved his vintage Morris Minor so much that he was buried in it.

Narayanswami, who died at the age of 64, bought his beloved Morris Minor in 1958, reports The Times of India.

Relatives, including his three children, decided to honour his last wishes of being buried with the car.

A huge grave was dug with an excavator and a large crowd gathered to see master and machine laid to rest together.

The Morris Minor was decorated and his body placed in it before it was lowered in the grave in Sivapuram village, Tamil Nadu.

He did well as he was only 15 when he got it, no wonder he didnt want to part with it.

Still I suppose it wasn't new.

Can you imagine St Peter looking around trying to find out what the popping noise is?
"Oy! Ya cant bring that thing in here!"

Not sure why his last wish is pluralised though...
