Mahindra Thar#1 Auction Hits The Rs. 1 Crore Mark

It was just yesterday that we told you about the Thar#1 reaching the Rs. 90 lakh mark and now the big moment has come where the car has reached the Rs. 1 crore mark. The bidder who has made this offer is Aakash Minda from New Delhi. Today is the last day for all the bids and reaching this milestone is certainly a big thing. The Mahindra #1 has already garnered interest from more than 5444 registered individuals and it being a one of a kind model, the opportunity to own one is absolutely at the core of this auction. The bids were placed at an increment level of Rs. 25,000 but we are yet to know how many bids were made. In fact, the bid has now gone up to 1.02 crore with Abhishek Datta from Medinapur out bidding Aaksh Minda's offer.
