car produced by the Tata Motors
.It was the company's first attempt at building a car.The car was considered fairly advanced during its time and had many features which were not common among cars in India at the time including power windows, power steering and a tachometer.The car performed better than expected, but was out of production due to its lack of a powerful engine.
The car had the TATA 207 Engine. This station wagon was a copy cat of the Mercedes Benz T- series estate cars, which were produced by Daimler Benz. The Tata Estate played a main role in replacing the Ambassador car, which was considered outdated, and even crude in some ways. This station wagon was a prestige symbol for some rich people in India. In fact, it proved to be a worthy one. True to its original, this long wagon was very handsome and attractive. The main difference between the Benz T-series, barring the engine and gear box and build quality, was the radiator grille.
