| ![]() Note from Mod : The Thar's full test & review has been uploaded at this link. Thread closed. Please continue the discussion over on the review thread. since MM THAR is made in India but its LHD and for export only, can an indian import it back from europe? OR does anyone has enough contacts to take out one from the M&M Factory here in india? ![]() Last edited by GTO : 5th January 2011 at 18:50. Reason: Adding link to Thar review |

| ![]() I had sent a query to Mr. Behram on this a few months back (thru PM) but there was no response. So I guess the answer is 'NO'! |

BHPian | ![]() I am into a shipping industry and I am scarred from what you are inquiring about. A vehicle reimport to it's origin country. Thought the origin of the good is India only but still there are so much comilicacy that I am sure you have to pay the custom duty. If I calculate everything, this is going to be a crazy deal. My suggestion are as follows... 1. Forget the Thar and better you think about importing Jeep Wrangler from US. 2. Buy a second hand MM550XD and change the engine to CRDe, belive me it is not so difficult. 3. If your philosophy/heart do not allow you to buy a second hand vehicle, go for Gypsy King MPFI which also a great vehicle. |

| ![]() Ask mahindra about Quadro. A genuine spares guy in your local town will show the pictutes of quadro from the mahindra booklet they have. I think the Thar is a dressed up version of the Quadro (roll cage etc) done by some enterprising local european dealer.(not sure though) Regards, Krishna. |

| ![]() There is a persistant rumor that MM is going to come out with a new 4x4 soon. How soon? Well, I'd like to know that, too. But, it may be the Thar or something like it or a civilian MM540 or a civ Stryker. The rumors are strong. It would be a shame to import something which is about to be sold in country. |

| ![]() parm, though i'm not a huge fan of the Thar for it odd looks, color, oversized tyres. but if you are considering a transformation from MM540 to the Thar, the pictures might help. ![]() OTHERWISE, have a look at this. this was an export product of M&M for Australia. for this you will need a 4X4 CL340/CJ340/Classic/Cj3B. ![]() picture courtesy- caradvice.co.au.
