Let the pics do the talking! ![]() ![]() More info: click here and also here The new site also has details about the new Mahindra Bolero Limited Edition, custom Logan etc. For more info, click below: home |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Wow! Finally an offroader's dream. A real 4WD offroader that can be bought new. But at what price? The regular Major is 6.5L on-road in Karnataka, this customisation might push it all the way across 8L into Gurkha territory. But Gurkha has BSIII engine, diff locks, AC and Power steering for that price, this one doesn't have any of those. This is a killer product no doubt, but the price might kill it. |

| ![]() Only the Major attracted me. A really macho vehicle. Can also be called the Indian Wrangler. Others, the Logan is uglier, Scorpio, well it may suit some filmy guys, Bolero is also not a well done job. Could be better. And The ICE in the Logan is SONY HU and look at the tweeters!! ![]() |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() the major concept looks awesome ! will try and find out the price for the same this week. even with all the 'custom' jobs, i don't see why this thing should cost more than 6.5L. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() According to official sources as mentioned in Jeep Thrills forum, the customisation cost is 1.95L over the Mahindra Major price. They offer this customisation to any current owners at this price, not just new buyers. Now we know how much it costs. ![]() Last edited by Samurai : 31st July 2008 at 11:40. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Well are these mods done only for major or is it available for any international out there? Looks good but I didnt like the rollcage over the windshield which is fixed even when the windshield is folded. |

Looks?? What's that? I think its good enough with good seat belts you wont mind it tipping over. Trust me i have been **** scared when i saw the ground inches away from my face after laying the Classic on its side while doing a tough manuver up a steep incline. I need to have a look at that rollcage, probably try and fit something similiar on my classic. PS: Only issue hoping the roll cage is well engineered.

| ![]() I was in a Mahindra dealership 6 days ago and he said Mahindra is not selling Majors. Is this true? Or, is it on a state by state basis or what? Also, is this Souvenir company a part of Mahindra? |

| ![]() Since its a BS2 it cant be sold in cities. You can pick it up in the rural markets. Not sure whether your place of residence comes under city. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() The Major Souvenir concept is neat, though I wish they hadn't gone overboard with the "Classic replica" story. For what you get, its pretty expensive at 2 lacs over the 6.5 lakh base Major price. But this is in the case of modifying after you buy your Major. I am sure Mahindra could offer an option where the modifications start on a pre-delivery unfinished example and thus, bring down the price. My choice, though, would be the Inspira: ![]() ![]() The 2.5 XD3P 5 speed, manual 4x4, wider track = better stability, bigger interiors & more practicality. Remove the rear buckets, kit it up with the right rubber, LSD & winch and you end up with a pretty competent, yet basic, offroad tool. For those looking at a 4x4 between 3 - 5 lakhs, a used Jeep + rebuild is still the best option. In my opinion, its more enjoyable too. A rebuild & customisation experience is to be cherished. |
