If only i wasn't a student and had the cash, i would have bought her!

Good choice, then. I'm assuming this has the 1JZ, the smaller version of the Supra's monster block, and almost as strong.

How's the car been parked on the road for so long?
I remember seeing quite a few MK IIs in kerala,all well maintained.

Yup - there was a time when this was the TOP import. THere are quite a few of them all over the state, usually maintained very well too. If you go to Airlines Hotel in Cochin (Opposite the Maharaja's College Ground) you can still see 2-3 of them in the parking lot. The chap that runs the hotel is an importer.

Steer,the 1st time I saw this in Ernakulam,I was in awe (obviously was a long long time ago). Managed to spot 3-4 of them,one after the other. I haven't seen them over the past few trips to Kerala though.

Most Mark-IIs imported, had diesel engines. This ones found down South, my bet is its a diesel.

Gogi, this car too has a diesel engine. Had seen some garage chap driving this car and it was spewing black somke and the engine was sounding very rough.This particular car has been used very roughly, always driven rashly..Thats why its in this state now. Still have to find out who it belongs to. There is another Mark II, but compared to this car that one is well mantained.

matrix_ren · 17th February 2008, 22:42

hey ed.. i think that mark II belongs to some one who is related to anand dighe or someone from his party.. i used to see that car outside the anand ritz hotel(near makhmali talao) way back when i was in school..

Also saw this MERC 123. I know it doesnt look all rusted and all but i have never seen that car move from there in god knows how long.
the car is all covered in dust and then one dat it seems clean. And then again it is covered in dust.

First Gen Miata spotted. I asked if the car has been standing here for long and they said it has been couple of months or so and the car hasent left here.

Nitin · 15th April 2008, 21:52

Doesn't look like the Miata's in bad shape. Probably broke down,and left there.

jesal · 16th April 2008, 00:34

the miata is there since 2 years now. i offered to buy it, owner asked 5 laks for a dead car i dint even find out what was wrong i just walked away. another friend went to pick it up 2 weeks back price asking then was 4.5 laks. car needs some parts replaced it does not start at all.

liv2drv · 16th April 2008, 10:28

car isn't worth 2 the way it stands. I love the miata. I've always loved them. My first sports car was a red miata with the number plate 'PCI 5'. would do anything to buy that car back...

v10 · 16th April 2008, 15:32

last time i was in khan market there was a red miata standing in prithviraj market for just a lakh..
