Maruti cars to be exported to Jerusalem

HellwratH · 4th September 2007, 15:16

Read this interesting article on Rediff.

Why Jerusalem's only Maruti owner is happy

There is only one 800 in Jerusalem and the owner doesnt wanna sell it (due to some 'sweet memories', ye the quotes are taken from the article!). May be it's treated as a vintage (with no offense, was just kiddin!).

I had been to Jerusalem last year and had seen an 800. I am not sure if this is the same one!

Cool gopz. Seems like there is only one in Jerusalem, so it could be the one you saw. Just wondering, how tough it is for them to source spares for them, as the article suggests they are having a tough time getting the spares.

I saw a lot of other suzuki cars, like swift, esteem (many of them) so I am sure the dealerships can help source parts from other countries...or, the owner could contact me if he reads this post, I can deliver the parts to him when I go there next

Gopz hope it ain't the same M800 that you owned earlier

. If yes your search ends in Jerusalem.

Haa haaa haaa... no riju this maruti is younger by a decade to Gopz Maruti. Gopz, by any chance did you go to Jerusalem searching for that '85 Maruti of yours?

Ha ha im ROTFL

...riju, will you give me a ride to Jerusalem in your Baleno? I promise to get you a mug of beer

kphilip · 4th September 2007, 18:53

hey i think i've seen balenos in israel when i've been there last year..

Do people actually look at cars in Jerusalem when there're many better things to look at?

I've heard of a man who owns an 800 in Paris. He is very proud and don't want to sell it either.

If you search for it there is a picture posted on our forum showing a Maruti 800 in France!

Sorry to disappoint, but the passenger seat in his car is already booked for the next 60 years. And the rear seats for well after that.

Dear ReallySmall,

I meant his lady and their future kids and so on. Now take that " @()*#()#@$#*$ " back or I challenge you to a fisticuff tonite midnite.

Your riding hitch ability got me confused

. Ok, back to discussion about the topic now.
