Tata Defender Anyone?
thermidorthelobster:
In Asia I've seen a fair number of Hiace-style vans (ie the rounded style with engine under driver which are totally ubiquitous from Far Eastern manufacturers) with Merc badges, but they don't bear any resemblance to anything else Mercedes make. Are these likely to be Tata-built with the badge denoting a Merc-designed engine?
I'm also interested to know the origins of the bonnetted Mercedes trucks akin to their 1960s models, which are still made and used in the Middle East and elsewhere (badged as model 1927 and 27xx amongst others). They're all over the place in Syria but I can't find much about them on Google.

try researching mercedes L series trucks, they,re the bonneted ones
the numbers usually mean in the case of 1927
19 tonne rated weight and 270 hp=1927 most 19 series were lhd i believe.
my dad used to drive a 1632 back when he was driving and i believe most 16,s were rhd as we had a lower rated weight

They should diversify into spuds - Tata Taters.
shaun and co:
i had the misfortune to drive a tata once..... After kicking my way out of the drivers door at the end of the journey i swore i would never drive one again! my father in law then bought one which was also a bag of bolts and fell to pieces within two years from brand new. i really hope they dont get there hands on landrover!!
