Does anyone have any idea about this?
Cheers,

1 has been bought.Another has been ordered.
These are here for a roadshow of 125 yrs of merc.

@ Rohin : none have been sold, they were in kolkata for a show and they are LHD so cannot be sold.

Not much action in this thread,so will post some pictures taken by the good folks at "Kolkata car fanatics"

Firstly a blue Z4 spotted by Rishi bhagat.I think this is a new one because it has O6F reg.Others were 06E and 06D(i think)

Also brand new Audi A8 and a black Jag Xj at JLR showroom.
Also a sad pic of a E32 BMW 7 series rotting away.

Where is the E32 7 series lying? Who owns it?

Its at bandhagat area in howrah,clicked by one rishi bhagat and owned by his friends family.Apparently the result of a family dispute.

What say,what about a restoration?

BMW electronics are supposed to be notorious and unlike the earlier Mercs from that era(W126) to get parts for this car would be extremely tough in India.

A brand new Jag in the city.

Seems like Calcutta is falling in lover with convertibles.

There is another Blue Z4 with red interiors standing at OSL.

A new Sky Blue E Cabriolet is also standing at Interkrafts.

Yep. That's the Salt Lake Jag. Post 1963. It's often parked on the road in front of the house.
