Hai,
Was out of town and could'd respond quickly.
Correct, its just a Merc tin badge on a jeep.
I also thought my Scorp could do it easily or any other can do it easily initially, the first 3 kms are easy. The video captured only about 1 mt of the journey, youtube could'd take more than 100 mb. After the first 3-4 KMS there's a section of water before the Dahuskodi Station and many sections of seaweed and sinking sand where only a 4wd can do. We were going sideways in many sections and it was a little scary!!!
I also saw lots of another variety of Mahendra Van which transports people and goods, also 4 wheel.
If you ask those who have done this trip they'd tell you what kind of terrain this is and what kind vehicles ply here.
I see you're having great fun with your GV. I am greatly tempted, seriously evaluating importing an old LRover from Kenya thro friends there; maintrenance and spapres scare me.
