Its is widely believed that Wyllis-Overland, a company comparable in size to Bantam, that had entered the race for a US army contract had access to the latter's blueprints and technical data. The car was rejected although it had been better built than the competitors' models. The car, called Bantam BRC was surprisingly well built except for a small glitch that was regarded by army officials as a major flaw: Bantam's engine failed to meet the army's torque requirements. who came up with a surprisingly simple and solid design. Among the car builders there was one small Pennsylvania based company by the name of American Bantam. Its appearance was sparked by WWII demands, at times when the US army had contracted three car builders to design a rugged, reliable military vehicle. Jeep is currently an automobile brand and trademark of the Chrysler Group. Not that, lets say, Mongolians living in yurts have seen one too many of Jeep commercials but because the brand has spread worldwide over the past six decades and that a large percentage of the Earth's 6 billion inhabitants have seen at least a couple of MASH episodes where Jeep vehicles are extensively shown. From Kinshasa to the Andes and from Thimpu to Kamceatka, people are likely to recognize one when they see it. There the shop owners wanted me to order the products and wait for 45 to 60 days to get the products.Everybody knows Jeep. When I went there they directed me to Grey town in Coimbatore. They keep transferring my call to each and every one in the showroom and finally I decided to meet the show room directly at Coimbatore. Some of them in the show room said it is discontinued. I called up the service people and they said they don't know about the products. I have seen the jeep in OOTY and I wanted to buy some of the spares for my jeep MM550 XD, and I called the service station number mentioned in that Major jeep. Mahindra is really not interested in promoting them. Your assistance may help me and interested Mahindra Jeep readers as well.īy: manikandan Note: The following comment is also posted in the "New Jeep-the Mahindra Major" submission and refers to that model only.however, this is a good insight into why it may be so difficult getting specific information about certain models from the Mahindra and Mahindra company. If you have this type of ease leave a comment below, or Contact Me directly. So, what I am asking is for anyone who might know of a good resource or two (website, book, blog, etc.) whereby I can get this type of information.to help direct those who have specific questions about certain models. So far I have not found such websites or any simple breakdown of all Mahindra Jeep models produced past and present. Questions about models such as the Major, MM540/550, CJ640, Thar, etal., are common. I have searched online for websites (including what appeared to be the M & M official website) that might have a concise chart outlining the various Mahindra Jeep models produced over the years.and including the newer models to date. Since Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M) is an automotive manufacturer/distributor based primarily in India.and also that I am located in the United States of America where Mahindra Jeeps are not sold at the moment.I am beginning to realize that certain models are hard to find.even in India. I receive a number of inquiries regarding how and where to find certain Mahindra Jeep models new and used. This is Larry the author and editor of this website.
