Rare cars around the city....

Here are few cars around Bangalore that you wouldn’t have expected!

First up, a matte black custom Mahindra Scorpio SLX.  This exclusive model crafted by Bangalore based auto experts Motormind surely turns heads around. This custom SUV takes road presence to a whole new level. The entire vehicle is warped in matte black with bright red inserts for visual elements such as, door handles, rear view mirrors, radiator mesh grill, roof rails and wheel hubs. The mechanicals of the car remain unchanged, which means the heavy grunt of the original car is still available!  Shod this package with great off-road tires and you've got yourself a looker. 

Moving further up on the SUV ladder, here’s a 2013 Land Rover Discovery 4. It’s straight forward, boxy understated design hides the fact this is one true blue off-roader.  The design of the Discovery is rather unconventional trying to portray a bold outlook.  This is an unusual vehicle to be spotted on Indian roads as customer prefers to buy the premium Range Rover models available at the same price as the Discovery. 

Driving in to the Super Luxury line up, today we have a Bentley Mulsanne. Parked majestically at the UB City towers, amongst a few hundred people trying to catch a glimpse of this beauty.  Imported as a CBU, our country hosts only few examples of this particular model.  The Mulsanne is the flagship of Bentley’s current lineup.  This car represents the epitome of luxury, taking it head on to the Rolls Royce Phantom and the now forgotten Maybach 62.  The sheer size and road presence is unmatchable with an overall length of over 18ft and fitted with massive 20” alloys.  Keep a look out to spot this rare piece of perfection.

Talking about sheer presence, what more can you ask for than to be spotted in a car that James Bond himself drives around. Yes, there are again just a handful of Aston Martins around the city.  The Rapide is the most suitable for variant with its four-door, four seater arrangement.  Aston Martin as a brand even today reaches very little audience in India as compared to say, Ferrari or Lamborghini.  But, true automobile enthusiasts can feel the very essence of this car, the quality and the attention to detail.  The Rapide is also one of the very few four-door sedans successful at deriving their primary design from sports cars.  The Rapide is successful at retaining the coupe roofline in spite of being a sedan. Watching this car roll down the city streets is a real treat.

Lastly, a memorable moment with the rarest Ford Model T.  With just a small number of well-maintained models, this is every collectors dream.  A car that Henry Ford built, which revolutionized the automobile industry during its era. This example equipped with white-walled tiers and wooden wheels reminiscent of the ones rolling off the production lines.  These are almost impossible to be spotted on the streets unless we visit a vintage car rally.  Keep your fingers crossed to spot one of them, the car which started it all.
