Hy, I'm from Italy, and this is my first post in this forum. Sorry if I write in english, but I understand just few words of germany. This is my question: I've seen some photos of Mahindra Thar, and I'm very interested in it (I think it is the old Jeep Willys built in India upon USA license). Unfortunatly, in Italy nobody know when this car will be send. I've visited also the Mahindra official site but no notices about a car named "Thar"
Do you know if and when this car will be available in Europe?
in Germany the car was named Mahindra MM 540. you can find some used cars here.
i know that this car was sold in GB as well. it is called Marksman there.
i think the german importer Andreas can tell you more about this car. certainly he can tell you if it was sold in italy. i do not think that new Thar/MM/Marksman are available in europe at present. maybe you should try to get one from the italian (internet) second-hand car market.
here is also a link to the english Mahindra Forum. there are a lot of guys driving a marksman.
@Thomas
Thanks for your detalis. I think that THAR should be the new version of MM540, and till now it is not sell in Europe.
Two questions:
1 - where I can find the germany importer (Andreas?)
2 - your car is very nice. Is it a MM540?
2 - it is a CL 340, 1.9 litre Peugeot diesel engine, one of the last mahindra built. CL 340 (short wheelbase, like Willys CJ-3B) and 540 (long wheelbase) were only built until 2001. CL are similar to Willys CJ-3B. the MM/Thar/Marksman ist the Jeep CJ-5 replica, the "newer" version.
