John, I think his house is on the road just after Golden eagle theatre when you come down from the small bridge.

Saw this Merc van on Sunday evening. Sorry for the poor quality.

Sudan_NFS · 31st March 2010, 11:06

Arjun: good pics of the R8 and Jag.

As far as I know chennai has three A8 W12 one with TN 20 ** (i think it's ash color) and another TN 07 *** with light blue color.
Does any one have more details on the A8 W12 in chennai?

if chennai RR Ghost is the first one, then what about the one in delhi wasn't that the first one?

I think this is the first officialy delivered Ghost in India. One in Delhi could have been imported by the owner.

The Delhi car was the first in India, This is the first in Chennai. They both came in the same lot but the Delhi car was delivered to the owner first.

I can say this as in the Rolls Royces post this car pictures were taken in the service center when it was going through its PDI while the delhi car was already featured in the supercar event held in Delhi. The difference between both cars was 4 days. We also had the Bombay car delivered at the same time as this. Anyways what difference does it make with being the first or second car. Lets enjoy them and hope we see them more often on the roads

Speedy. It just doesnt make a difference to us. All we want is to see owners enjoying them on the road.

That ghost is drop-dead gorgeous! I love it so much more than the relatively bulky looking phantom! And in an all-black combo it's a real stunner!

Hope to be lucky enough to spot it on the roads!
