This must be Kella's Hummer; or has he sold the car?

I have seen the H3 when i visited a renowned used car dealer/importer. Then it was on sale post ownership of the Kelco guy(hani i take your word, hence group name). But later when kelco's garage was featured in a tv show, this H3 was there. Don't know if he got back the vehicle or the video was covered before the sale.

OT- Brother, please make use of the 'Multiquote' option to quote multiple replys. Or you will end up with a infraction like in my case. Cheers.

TLC is white & is bought by a business family who are into heavy industrial construction work & auto dealerships in Calicut; Hyundai, Tata CV, Yamaha, Suzuki, etc. They have a S-class too. They used to travel a lot as almost all their construction site are in very far from Kerala. Once when I went to Rajasree, thier S-class was there & the service manager told me that they are just back after a long trip, i.e., from Gujarat-Pak border where they had a site. Now thier S has done near a lakh km & they are planning to upgrade it with facelifted S.

So far no BMW entered to Kalliyath family & I think there is very least chance for beemer in their garage. They had some pretty bad experiance with beemer at South Africa, hence not interested. But my friend had an idea for 5-series, but his dad stopped him!

Whoa ! A lakh kms ! That has to be one of the highest odo reading in a S. Is it W221 or 220? When is the facelifted version coming ? Does it get the hyped dual vision screen ? And any new engine options ? As the E is 350cdi(still gets a 3.0L engine). So the new S deserves better or same line.

That is sad, i thought they alredy must have bought a beemer since you showed me the pic of the 320d at his home for td.

Btw, any pics of Kajah's Quattroporte ? I even tried when i went to Chavakkad. But hard luck !

It's W221. One lakh on S-class is not a new story in Kerala. KRS's W220 clocked 1.25 when it was sold then, their W221 already done 65K. My another friend's S has covered 60k even when his Cayenne, 730Ld, 530d & Pajero were running. There is many more examples. I think it's only in Kerala these bigger luxury cars are driven long, inter state, etc. In other states it run inside the city & very rarely out of the city to nearest holiday spots or farm houses.

320d test car was long back & it was during that time they had some bad experiance from their South African car. Even before they bought their S-class they had a look at 7, but they didn't like it, especially comfort & easy to use!

You are right Quattropotte is mostly in Cochin when its in Kerala & otherwise as usual they will be driving on their long journeys to thirunalvelli, belgaum, kolaphur or even Mumbai.! But I've seen it in thier Chavakkad house just after it's arrival, but since I was driving & hurry to reach Cochin I didn't stop to snap it!
