There is a petrol bunk opposite to Mysore road satellite bus stop,with about 4 to 5 classic mercedes and few other classics an oldsmobile and a chevy impala.

I have also seen a new green colored fintailed mercedes with MSY registration (not sure though) for almost 2 months now.Does this place belong to any TeamBhpian??Has anybody checked this out??

These cars belonged to Mr Kumar of doddigunta ,cox town .He owned a garage and the cars for a long time and one of them belonged to the late karivardhan .he passed away a couple of years back and the cars came up for sale as one lot (9 cars ,6 mercs and 3 VW jetts and golfs) for under 8 lacs as they had to vacate the parking.No -one picked up even at that price and ended up with "Benz Muneer" the guy in the bangalore Gujri who has stored them in the mysore road petrol bunk which belongs to his friend .most cars are in decent condition and he claims he wants to restore most of them .he also has two more old cars there,one locked up inside the shed .

Saw this early morning and made a dash to see this. As I had a lunch engagement, I could not stay and meet Nandish (nandishpal). Nandish spoke about the initiaitve on setting up the Mercedes Benz India Owners club .




In summary

1: Forum set up to help budding and existing Merc owners
2: Aim to help each other out by sharing information and reduce cost of ownership
3: Sundaram Motors will give discounted pricing. Mercedes Benz India have also pledged support
4: To avoid politics - there is no president/ secretary etc for the club.

This is a good initiative and I wish them a lot of luck

My Nikon failed on me so had to rely on my phone. I counted approximately the following

1 Ponton



The dormant www111 + Pavan Kadam!











1 R129




About 5 w201 190's
1 W202 C200 - very well kept (not in ic)




4 W140's - 2 of them S500's. Nandishpal's car was immaculate but no W126's or w203 S class's









1 w220 S500

2 w123's
1 w114



1 C200 Slk Kompressor
1 CLK 320

Many w124's
A couple of E class w210's


Loads of w203's

importantly, Dr Ravi Prakash joined the party with his blue pre-war mercedes towards the afternoon ! it was larger and older and grander than all others! Thank You Doc !

A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE PRESENT FOR SPARING THEIR VALUABLE TIME TO PARTICIPATE AND SHARE A COMMON PASSION!! SUVARNA KANNADA NEWS 24X7 CHANNEL REPORTER SAID THAT SHE IS LIKELY TO COVER THIS EVENT IN A 30 MINUTE FEATURE ON THEIR CHANNEL AFTER TWO DAYS OR SO.

Pavan, when did the lovely 200 that you worked on get that dent on the trunk lid? Or was it there from much earlier?

The maroon Ponton is nice, the missing aluminum garnish trims on the front and rear windscreens seals would make the car appear much better.

Excellent initiative. Wondering if we can something on similar lines in Mumbai as well.

Hi rollingart, You have posted many pictures taken in private property. Hope the owners are ok with it? The mercedes posted here DLH registered, is a 230 pulman 1937/38 in Jaipur. Last year it was offered for sale . Any idea of its current status?
