@ Danlalan. His name is Pratap. Gaikwad.
Possibly the only instance where the owner actually has something to do with MP.

It is because of tax saving.

Found pictures of the car, this is when it had just come in. Not blanked the Number as the owner was with my brother when the pictures were taken and he is also a friend. I have lost the interior pictures but have asked for them.

Nice pics Speedy and Varun. Off lately I've been seeing quite a few imports with NL registration. Maybe they're offering better offers than HR. Pratap also owned a CL55 AMG which is now sold.

I dont remember his CL being an AMG. I think it was 500 not sure. He did have a Brabus S class at one point.

I would not recomend it for you Indra_slk. It is worth every penny in the looks and performance aspects. The cars is an out and out sports car and can be very unforgiving if not driven right. The reason i would not advice it for you is because the car is very powerful for you to handle at this point, the MRS would be a snail compared to this beast. The service and parts would be an issue in Goa as it would be a Direct import. This means if anything goes wrong you would have the car standing for long periods awaiting a proper Mech and parts. The choices you have made are good for now and at a later stage you could get it. What happened to the MRS, sold yet or with you still?

Not sold it yet.Waiting to get my desired price, if i don't get the price i rather keep it and do some engine modifications.I guess it is no point in getting such powerful cars when we don't have proper roads to drive on. If we had much better roads then would be a awesome car.I feel bad for ecksreturns when he has a car like the LP640 he can't use it to the fullest.Even if he tries to use it to the fullest there is always something that will come on the road like cows,dogs and people!
