Thích Quảng Đức was a Vietnamese monk who set himself on fire on June 11, 1963 in Saigon to protest against the suppression of the Buddhist population in Vietnam. At that time he drove to Saigon with this car.
It should also be mentioned that the monk's self-immolation is to be understood as a protest against the suppression of Buddhism by the Catholic President Diem. The monk had previously lived here.
This Austin, which the famous monk Thich Quang Duc used to commit self-immolation to protest against the government's treatment of Buddhist monks, gained notoriety.
