mahindra & mahindra bought the original presses of willys when they first started out

Tis intrestin'.

What's the difference in bonnet height between an MB and a CJ3? :?

you got me there  :shock:

i know the mahindra bonnet is higher due to the engine.......

these questions would be best answered on the mahindra register by some of the great oracles of knowledge  :D
