the info i got is its a black TLC bought from Bangalore dealer.

so count of TLC in and around trivandrum is 3 now 2 x black (including this one) and a white.

i have doubts regarding 730Ld,are you referring to white one which was spotted at their showroom?

@ hanmust - nice pics of 650i,its been a long time since we have heard about BMW 6 series in kerala

mithunkb · 20th March 2010, 23:56

650i looks gorgeous in black.

Whats the motor in the 6er? 4.8 L V8?

EDIT: Googled it. It is the 4.8L 360BHP V8.

Yes, the same 730Ld i posted earlier, i thought i belonged to them. And, the security guys were pretty bothered when i snapped those pics.

Thanks for the info, but i till date saw only one New TLC in trivandrum, that too KL-16 regn.(not proper tvm). So whom does the other black belong to ?

I don't think it comes on the 6-series as standard. Here's a pic for reference.

Hey, nice find there, would have been a world better if the owner mind to paint the lower-body in white too.

Anand123 · 21st March 2010, 14:54

Is this the same Touareg which was DL-regd earlier?

aparth · 21st March 2010, 15:58

Nice find foby. Just love the butch looks of the Touareg. The more you look at it the more it grows on you!

hanmust · 21st March 2010, 18:44

Here is the photo of one of the two Rolls Royces presntly in the state. This is the one from Kottayam, its 80s or early 90s Silver Spirit. Photo dedicated by a young friend Nicholas from Kottayam.

Other one with Khaja is one generation older. There was a similar RR in Calicut of a religeous leader which I've driven once, now its sold.

Nice find. That is one of the rarest cars in the thread i guess. Great find. But look at the car in contrast with the surroundings, pathetic.

Any news on the forth-coming Phantom ?

Anand123 · 21st March 2010, 19:23

Nice pic of the RR. I think that pic was clicked when they took it out for some marriage or something.
