The Story of the Maruti 800 | India’s First People’s Car | History On Wheels

In the 1980s, the Maruti 800 wasn't just a vehicle—it was a status symbol, a family member, and a dream on four wheels. In this episode of History on Wheels, we move away from the brochures and into the driveway of a family that has kept this legend alive for decades. We follow a personal journey of a man whose Nanaji was among the lucky few to bring home the People's Car. At a time when the demand was so overwhelming that the car famously sold in "Black" for nearly double its price, his grandfather chose to preserve it as a heirloom.
