Recently I stumbled across a video which says the the Nedumpally Jeep(Nedumpally is Mohanlal's Character in Malayalam movie Lucifer) was made for a 10 yr- old kid at a cost of Rs. 25,000. It's a fully functional Jeep with an openable top, forward and reverse gears, a working wiper, headlights, fog light, USB charging port and a small music system . This Jeep also has a spare tyre and a first aid kit. The Jeep uses 2 12v exide batteries and can be used for 3 hours in one charge.

The maker has built it himself and it looks exactly like a real Jeep.

That's great. He did a marvellous job. Wish I could build one too. It's not a toy. The boy actually rides it.
Around 10K -20K is the price for miniature Mercs and Beemers and also Jags and Hummers. But, that might not last too long. This is hand made and can be diagnoses if any errors pop up. Kudos to the kid. Also, making a vehicle inspired from a movie, that too Mohanlal's, is quite a great thing. I wish I was smart too, at his age. That way I can upgrade myself from a non-drivable Hot wheels Supra owner to a miniature drivable Supra owner
