Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra has presented a rare Thar 700 to Udaipur prince Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar. Mahindra recently handed over the keys of brand-new Mahindra Thar 700 -- available in a limited number and will be the last units of the current-generation model, reports cartoq. Thar 700 is priced at ₹9.99 lakh.
“The Mewar family of Udaipur is a known automobile aficionado and almost 20 years ago, they inaugurated the vintage car museum in the city of lakes,” said the report.
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, part of the $20.7 billion Mahindra Group, in June announced the launch of Thar 700, the last batch of 700 units of the iconic 4x4 off-road SUV. Thar 700 marks the 70 years’ legacy of Mahindra, as its lineage traces back to 1949 when the first Mahindra vehicle was built in India.
