SOLVED - oko114 : 1995 Maruti 800 Two Seater from Sudha Car Museum

[kwgibbs]

sipani-based?

[oko94]

No.

[kwgibbs]

was it a well-known indian car brand?

[oko94]

Yes.

[kwgibbs]

I,ll give Reva a shot?

[luisps]

MARUTI SUZUKI?

[oko94]

Based on a Maruti indeed. Locked for luisps to give more details (year, model name).

[luisps]

I'm just guessing: Based on Maruti Gipsy around year 2000

[oko94]

No. Still locked for you for two attempts.

[luisps]

The wheels and rear-view mirrors looks to be from a Maruti Suzuki Zen made from 1993 till 2006

[oko94]

It may have Zen parts, but it's not based on a Zen.

[luisps]

Based on a Maruti 800?

[oko94]

Yes !

[luisps]

Well! Now that we know that is a deeply modified Maruti 800 what else you request for one point?

[oko94]

Original questions were : what's this, based on what, from when ?

Questions left to be answered are : what's this and from when.

To help a bit : for the "what's this" question I don't expect a name as the modified car hasn't got a proper name and I don't know who modified it, but this car is part of something special that I expect you to find to score a point.

[luisps]

When you mention "something special" are you refering to an unusual sport or racing?

[oko94]

No, nothing to do with sport or racing.

[luisps]

The fact of have so many head ligths means a specific use on nigths or dark areas?

[oko94]

Not that I know of.

About my previous hint: this car is part, among many other cars, of something special. All these cars are very different from each other in style, size or purpose but they all have something in common...

[luisps]

Can it be an amphibious vehicle?

[oko94]

No, what these cars have in common is not one of their abilities.

[luisps]

Electric?

[oko94]

No. Once again, don't try to find a common feature of these cars, it's something else.

[luisps]

This could be my last guess: Security/Police car?

[oko94]

No, not that.
