I think a new thread should be started for replica cars. And why is it called a 540 replica? :eek: Neither the engine nor the shape resembles a 540. Yes a mercedes grill like nose is given to this thing alongwith a star. An out of proportion windshield is added on, incorrect lights, two oversized spare wheels are side mounted, and a Tata becomes a 540 replica?/ How about the interiors and dash? Under which rule is this thing registered with the authorities? Better to say TA TA to this Tata A word of caution. In Bombay, contessa cars used to sport mercedes lights and grills. Mercedes as a company went after the owners as well as the workshops and dragged them to courts, won and got damages awarded. Since then the practice stopped. Whoever the owner is, please be warned, this may happen to you. |

So, is it for sale? Or, what's the story if it's 'rotting', yet sent out for a rally?! |

That was owned by a young gangster who was later nailed and now absconding. Later the car was recovered by court and auctioned to a junkie and the junkie sent it for auto show. He is gonna restore it as he says but for time being its left out. The Junkie dont have its papers , only thing he have is the court order. So if he intends to sell , can he make new papers like RC book , insurance , tax , pollution etc ? |

Anybody knows the details? |

This restoration job is done by Colorglo at Maradu, Ernakulam, they have some special process and materials to restore the interiors back to as much as close to its brandnew state without replacing anything. |
