We are living in times when a four wheeler would mean swanky stuff like Honda, Hyundai, Nissan and for the wealthy lot, it is Mercedes, Audi, BMW and others. But despite the immense flood of cars, one brand has stood strong. We are proud to say it is the Maruthi cars and this company created the automotive revolution in the country.
Of course, today, Maruthi is only meant for the middle class and those who seek conventional vehicles. The first model of Maruthi was Maruthi 800 and it must be said this has become obsolete. In that situation, one star hero is reportedly keen to buy a Maruthi 800 and that too for a whopping Rs 1 crore.
The hero is Malayalam megastar Mammootty and the car he has eyed is unique. Well, this Maruthi 800 happens to be the first ever vehicle manufactured in India and the former PM Indira Gandhi gave it to a Delhi based person named Harpal Singh about 32 years ago. The car is now being kept for auction. The estimation is that it would cross 1 crore and Mammootty plans to buy it. Well, will he take part in the auction and buy it? We have to see how much bid it would get.
