That number plate style looks so undignified

abhinav.gupta88 · 17th August 2008, 17:53

Its lovely but i would have liked a different colour on the Folding roof
Somehow i feel doesnt go with the colour of the car.

amit V8 · 17th August 2008, 18:19

a pretty nice one, but the number R1 seems confusing.

BEEM3R · 17th August 2008, 18:50

Its convenient how the the letters AR have been seperated to make it R1 ! Would have been cool to have RR 1. Arnt there any other wheel options for the DHC? These are the same as the Phantom. They look very unimpressive. And the White Hyderabad DHC would have looked nicer with the SS front hood. The blue roofs look nice, but Ive heard there are umpteen colour combinations for DHCs. I would think people would have picked more impressive colours.

I guess the whole point of posting a pic along with the Santro was to display the size of the RR!!
Awesome car!!

@fountainheader - yeah

! and it really does show the size comparo.

BTW, if this was delhi registered, it could have read DL xD - HC 1 so that it could read DL x DHC 1 - now that would have been a real good reg. no.

Yes the white one is in hyderabad. I believe it's Mr. Venkatram Reddy's, the DC newspaper owner. The car is a stunner. Couldn't believe my eyes when i first saw it on the road!

god bless this beautiful car! amazing!

The cars looks awesome. Even awesome does not do justice to the beauty of the vehicle.

But to me the white one looked a little blant and over whitish. Basically because the SS hood is missing. With that the car would have been something.

Thanks all for sharing the pictures.

Yeah I see most of these cars pre-delivery, but not knowing who most of the owners are don't bother to ask...SO yeah I know, but yeah there's only 1 RR with a gold spirit of ecstacy, and that's Cyrus Poonawalla's car...

cheers:

See Maveric5490's post i.e post no. 69 on page 5.
There's a white DHC with gold spirit of ecstacy and he says it belongs to someone in hyderabad, so that re confirms it.

I beg to differ here DocG. Mr Poonawalla does not have the white Drop Head. That one is in Hyderabad. I think Mr Poonawalla's is the one posted by Akshay. It was there for a brief period for the Cartier event as well along with their other cars.
