Celebrate Eleganza - Tata Manza Elan Quadrajet Celebration Edition !

Dr.Suraj · 22nd July 2018, 08:07

With a very heavy heart, I bid goodbye to our beloved Elanza yesterday...
For no other reason, but 'dis-use'. Ever since the AMT Tiago joined the stable, the Manza was being used only for long trips or trips that needed a lot of luggage space. From a monthly running of 1200 kms it came down to a yearly running of 1200 kms! (especially over the last year).
Otherwise it had no problems whatsoever and it was still holding a special place in all our hearts. It's space and comfort were unmatched.
Would have loved to trade it for a Nexon, but quite frankly, currently we didn't need a second car. Maybe in the future the Harrier can take it's place.

Sold via TeamBHP Classifieds. Did not post on OLX or Quikr. Found a good buyer who knew what he was getting into and loved the car for it's immaculate condition.

Here's what the ad read like...
