The Forgotten MUV of 90's - Tata Estate

Congrats. The Sierra and the Estate were really the type of vehicles people hoped to personify Tata Motors with - well after their entry into the passenger car space, before the Indica/Sumo cab days.

Some observations:

1. The interiors of the Estate seem to be of much better quality than the current-day Thar!

2. I have noticed that the bottle-green color offered on the Ertiga looks smoking hot with deep-dish alloy wheels. You should perhaps have a software rendition of how your Estate would look with that color/alloys and eventually make the transformation if you're convinced.

When i took test drive of Carens, i realized how the MPV or RV has made a come back into the indian market and the acceptance it has gained. This car (I am speaking for the car i owned) was plagued by issues, niggles and what not but i still can positively say that it was a vehicle ahead of its time. i still think if this car would have made a comeback with the modern engine and safety measures that TATA has redefined over past few years it would be successful

Did we have Any RV in Indian market - except customizations like make-up vans/vans used by politicians/ actors ?

MPV's have always been there. Just they have evolved with time, like cars have.

I recently bought a Tata Estate. The car requires some work to be done. Where can I source parts for the same? I also would like suggestions for restoration or any modifications.
