Thats correct sir, it is a mistu l200 pickup with a 2.5 litre NA diesel and 5 speed 4wd.

damn smooth for a 80s design. Belongs to a friend of mine! and has participated in offroads too.

I'm actually a bit disappointed as i expected a better turn out of imports/exotics at this event.

Saw a new RR at the Chennai cargo area. any idea who is the lucky one to own this. When can we get to see this one on the road?

nickatnite · 18th June 2009, 22:06

"Buy one, get one free?".I see Q7's almost everywhere!.

bimi - Was it a Range Rover or a Rolls Royce?

neoranjit · 19th June 2009, 01:06

Rolls Royce.. cos I remember seeing a post in the Rolls Royce Thread also

bimi · 19th June 2009, 11:24

sorry, I was refering to Rolls Royce Phantom - Black colour

Sivasankar · 19th June 2009, 14:55

Now that the RR can be bought thru the Mumbai dealership, was it just being imported thru the Chennai airport for a customer elsewhere or was it being delivered directly from the factory to a Chennai customer?

Chennai already has a black RR that is rarely taken out...

bimi - couldn't you take a snap?

I was in the bus which takes you from the terminal to the aircraft, just saw the car,admired it for a few seconds, by the time I could fish out my mobile to take the pics, we had moved too far. The car was on the "trailer". I saw a huge russian cargo plane (antonov) also parked there. Not sure whether this car has come in that flight though.
I am sure this car is for some one in TN, otherwise why sould they bring it here. Maybe I am wrong!!
Ciao!

Junk , but unsual junk, so i figured i'll take a pic. The Dodge is a Caravan. I spotted this old coupe, but well maintained and also unusual as most cars are 4 door sedans here.

Is he the guy who owns the place for the ATVs in ECR? Wow! That was sad!
Me and my family had quite a conversation with him.I was there (Chennai Trade center) with my wife and kids just to have a look at the ATVs. He started fussing bigtime about us getting near the ATVs parked near the wall. It was plain obnoxious. I just hope his place in the ECR is better towards Customers.
