@ Arjunrudra,

Nice pics there. Beautiful SL500 too. Must be used rarely, otherwise more pics would have surfaced so far.

@joshguy,

Bro, I think a diesel CLK in India is rarer than a Flying Spur! That too, the new model! There is a 350 in b'lore.

welll it does belong to saravana bhavan. The driver who drove the car to the auto expo in my college (svce) himself said that he was sarvana bhavan driver.! i dont think he lied !

No matter what, it is nice to know that colleges such as "this" do exist which do something other than imparting EDUCATION..The Impart knowledge about cars, Kudos to the management and Kudos to you friend for posting such nice pics. The red SL looks really nice. I have seen a white SL in bangalore, but unfortunately no pics.

that's my college !

And yes, it is the Saravana Bhavan owner's car.

Nice pics from the college show.Next time there's an auto related event happening anywhere in the city and we come to know about it, let's post it in this thread if the event is open to the public.

No man, it was a TN reg one, with repeating number sequence at the end. Same last 4 digits as the yellow Lambo.

ok. if taking names isnt an issue, doesnt actor ajit own an M5 aswell?? that too in silver. my brother once told me that he saw an m5 in chennai about a year ago, without any plates on, being driven by, what looked like to him, actor ajit. can anyone confirm.

P.S: how come the sl and the m5 have never been spotted before. or is it just my ignorance.

Wrong!

The Corsa is a hatchback in Europe, a saloon in India --- but nowhere a "dude", exotic or not...
