Bengaluru Buzz: Quirky Classic Car Collectors, Here’s Your Chance!
In a surprising yet fascinating turn of events, a rare gem has hit the Indian vintage car market – a 1997 Land Rover Defender 110, boasting a robust 3.5 litre V8 petrol engine, has been tagged with a whopping price of INR 40 lakh. Located in the charming neighborhood of Malleshwaram, Bengaluru, this petrol-powered powerhouse is turning heads and opening wallets.
Owned by its second enthusiast, this Land Rover is not just any old car. It’s a limited-edition, 3-door marvel that promises to transport you back to the golden days of motoring. What makes this Defender stand out is its exceptional condition; it’s a non-restored original, flaunting a factory-fresh look with a completely rust-proof, galvanized chassis. With a mere 74,800 km on the odometer, it’s as sprightly as a modern SUV.
But wait, there’s more! This heavyweight (3800 kg, to be exact) comes with a full aluminum body, company-fitted AC, power steering, and all-four spring coil suspension with disc brakes. And for those wary of tech troubles, fear not – it’s completely manual, making electronic failures a thing of the past.
Now, before you rush to grab your checkbook, be warned: the seller isn’t looking for tire-kickers. With a ‘slightly negotiable’ tag, they’re eyeing serious buyers who can appreciate the value of this rare, original petrol engine Land Rover.
And if you’re wondering about the steep price, a savvy user, j0shisanjay, offers some wisdom: “It’s pricey, but mod it right, and you can double your money. Plus, at ₹40 lakhs, that robust Rover V8 is a classic catch!”
So, vintage car aficionados, is this the deal of the decade or a hefty price for nostalgia? The answer lies in the eye of the beholder… or the buyer, in this case!
