Dattatraya Lohar, a fabricator from Devrashtre in Sangli district, Maharashtra, built a four-wheeler from scrap and two-wheeler parts. In December 2021 the industrialist Anand Mahindra wrote about it on Twitter: “This clearly doesn’t meet with any of the regulations but I will never cease to admire the ingenuity.” He added: “I’ll personally offer him a Bolero in exchange.”
After the exchange, Mahindra wrote of Lohar’s vehicle: “It will be part of our collection of cars of all types at our Research Valley & should inspire us to be resourceful.”
