I used to drive my father's Lancer C12.

It is probably the best looking Japanese car from the early 80s.

Unlike my Maruti Wagon-R, the Lancer C12 was not easy to drive through congested roads owing to its lower stance and bigger width.Added to that our car came without power steering.

However in terms of comfort, driving pleasure (on highways) it is way ahead of my Wagon-R.

I miss that car so much since my father gifted it to my half-brother.

the model i have includes power steering, i have been using the car for close to 3 years now. It is a very reliable car and an absolute pleasure to drive, it i also extremely comfortable and is great for long distance travelling. In my mind, this car was way ahead of its time when compared with other models in its class.

Come on

Are you trying to compare a Maruti with a Mitsubishi ? – get real

Even if the car is over 2o years old – Mitsubishi’s are waaaay ahead of the Maruti crap

I was just expressing how did I feel driving both Lancer C12 and Wagon-R, extensively.

Have you tried the vehicle information service on the RMV website? You can pay Rs. 150 and get all the information (including name and address of the current owner).

The "Limited vehicle information" option says that the absolute owner is a finance company. So it is still running. 

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. Tried that Davy, but to get the full details report we need to give the chassis no which we dont have now :(

Yes at the moment ownership states as a finance company, probably due to a lease.

Ah I see. 

I assume it was imported brand new through the agent? If so, you might be able to get the chassis number from them. Not saying that they will just hand it over to you, but you just might be able to get it through a contact. ? I'm not sure if they maintain records that date so far back though.

Thanks a lot again, will try on that. :)
