Ingo ◊ 2008-10-10 21:36	I would agree.
DynaMike ◊ 2008-10-10 23:56	I guess a Mahindra Jeep would have been RHD...
Ingo ◊ 2008-10-11 00:01	Sure. Where was this scene shot? Perhaps it's an export version (for a short time it was offered in Europe, too). The front look IMHO quite Mahindra-ish.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2008-10-11 00:18	Apparently Mahindra Jeeps were only made in left hand drive until 1968. Quote Initially they were a trading company, importing post-war Willys Jeeps as completely built units, and later on started importing semi-knocked-down kits, which were assembled in India. In the early 1960's they started manufacturing Jeeps. Until 1968 they were left-hand-drive, which changed in the 1970's as in India we drive on the left. http://www.film.queensu.ca/Cj3b/World/India2.html
DynaMike ◊ 2008-10-11 00:25	Interesting! So this might well be a Mahindra CJ-3B.
