Found this piece of beauty... well not anymore

, somewhere in Noida.

Excuse the quality.. cos it was pitch dark out there

Oh boy! that looks like the turn at the Film city road where you turn left for Sec-18!! (the halted flyover construction!)

sad. sad. sad.

Almost expect to see that beauty bleeding.

To the gentleman with the salt and pepper hair.

This was spotted at the last to last tbhp meet.
I was supposed to take a left right to go towards mayur vihar but took a wrong turn towards Kalindi Kunj.. found it somewhere in that direction..

Careless driving, my guess. What a beautiful machine to have wrecked.

Fuelled · 21st July 2006, 23:18

Wouldnt blame him. The road had no lights whatsoever.
Loose surface, so there was mud everwhere reducing visibility to barely 15-20 metres.

with the camera flash off.. i couldnt even see my own hand properly.. thats the INDIAN GOVT for u

Wow a rarest of a car registered not in Mumbai, Delhi or even Bangalore but in Coorg! If the owner indeed stays in coorg, must be having a blast driving this around coffee estates!

there was one in Delhi, in Defence Colony many years ago, this might be it.

This was for sale, a few years ago, asking 30 Lakhs

There are at least 2 XK8s in India. The one that crashed was DL regd and had beige interior whereas the one listed for sale has black interior and is KA regd. That car has been in Karnataka for a while now.

The above mentioned XK8 ditched those period correct but ugly looking rims for these.

The new wheels (not sure what brand they are?) look a little out of place to me.. would be great on a Civic/ Creta type car but not on this.

What's the asking price for this car?
It was my favourite car in NFS 3 when I was ~5-6 years old
