Coming of Age
THERE WAS AN OBVIOUS VOID IN THE Mahindra line-up during the early part of this century with the discontinuation of the MM 540 and MM 550, descendants of the CL340 ‘Classic’, which, in turn, was derived from the Willys CJ3A Jeep that Mahindra were licensed to build and sell in India back in 1949.
