JRD Tata

Mercedes-Benz 190D

During the 1960s, owning a vehicle from Mercedes-Benz needed a lot of effort and was a difficult task. The Mercedes-Benz 190D can be considered as the spiritual predecessor to the modern-day Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The 190D is designed in a way that it still stands out in the crowd and looks extremely charming. Tata bought the car way back in 1961, however, since the car had to be imported from Germany, it took about six months to arrive in India.

The car was finally registered in 1962. It came with features like bi-focal ORVM and adjustable seats. It came powered by a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine that could take it to about 120 km/h.
