Hahahaha!! I can't believe it! It's national front page news!
Or is it a press release?

[Xehaust]

Yup, its hilarious that this is NATIONAL news & FRONT PAGE at that
But its good to see and hear about the modena. Seen it only once till date on the streets as is. Hopefully the new owner will take it for a spin more often.

in usa prices are cheaper than uk. in usa the full top spec panamera is 60 laks and in india it is 2.75 crores.

Wondering who wont call India a rich country when a Ferrari is available for around 75L. There will be atleast 50 new Fs sold in India.

I just hope to not see Sachin's name on income tax evasion for this car or anything else. Assuming he made a profit on this sale, because of SRT and MS names. Too many of us hold Sachin to higher standards as a person close to heart, if there is anyone who should care less about moolah it must be the likes of Sachin. A Raja or Kalmadi may have more moolah, but not the emotional bond of millions.

My plea to Sachin da - stay out of the front page for anything other than cricketing news- dont break my heart, please pay the freakin taxes

Confirming the news, a close friend of the batting ace said, "Sachin is delighted with the arrival of his new car." Commenting on the decision to sell the Ferrari, the pal said, "It was tough for him to ensure that the car maintained its minimum run on Mumbai's roads. Also, he could not get out on the roads because people would easily identify the car. It wasn't used much for the same reason."

Pardon my ignorance but I think the top spec Panamera Turbo S is also priced at or above 80 lacs INR in US.Anyway,that's somewhat close to your mentioned figure..But as far as the 458 goes,the base price starts from a $ 225,000! So that's priced almost exactly the same as the UK.

Few days back, God had asked for a tax break because he is an actor.

Commercial 'artiste' Sachin Tendulkar Gets Tax Break : NATION: India Today

Earlier Lord Big B had claimed he is a farmer.

I bow down to these Gods of India!!!

The Panamera S will start at $89,800, while the all-wheel-drive 4S will cost $94,700. The Turbo will ring in at $132,600, which is slightly more than a Cayenne Turbo

How did no one notice this? Sachin Tendulkar was gifted this car in 2002. The car would have been registered with the Mumbai (Andheri) RTO also in the same year. As far as I know, the car sported a MH-02-AD registeration (with a VIP number).

This car which was bought by the Gujarat businessman has a MH-02-AV registration - that is of a much later year.

I am not doubting that this could be Sachin's car. But how did it go through 2 registration numbers?

Maybe it should be reported in this thread as well : Beware: Fake registration numbers on Imported Cars

Pic of the car taken in 2008 (not sure from where I got this pic).

There's an article in today's Mid-Day about SRT retaining the VIP number & the RTO issuing a new one to the car, for the new owner to take to Gujarat, post which he will re-register it there.

According to the "Economic Times" - 87,000$=Rs.4 Crore Approx.
So the GTR costs way more than a Ferrari 458

[SRK]

Is is possible to retain the old vehicle numbers?

Sachin retained his number AD 9999 after paying a fee of 50,000 and has to claim it within 30 days. The no. on Ferrari got changed it to something like AV 4752.
But the buyer is in Surat so on whose name would the car be currently, unless the Buyer has some property proof in Mumbai.
