Sachin Tendulkar's first car was the humble Maruti 800 and the cricketing legend would like to add the car back to his garage. Current owners, are you listening?
Word has it that Mammootty, a Malayalam superstar, has expressed a keen interest in buying the car. Reportedly, the actor's first car was also a Maruti, though now he has a myriad of lavish cars in his garage
About 32 year ago, Harpal Singh, a resident of Delhi, became the first ever customer of the M800 after he won the allotment for the car through a lucky draw. The keys of the car were handed over to him by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on December 14, 1983.
Owing to the rise in competition and lack of sales volumes though, Maruti Suzuki India has pulled the curtains on the 800. The company rolled out the last 800 out of its Gurgaon factory on the 18th of last month.
