Found 1988 Premier 118 NE

Hello Friends I'm Darpan From Indore, Madhya Pradesh.Friends today i share you my dream car 118 NE Journey.I m a big fan of Hindustan Contessa but nowadays very few contessa's are remaining and it's value is very high. My budget is for contessa is between 1 lacks.But i didn't found any contessa in my budget so i dropped my idea for buying contessa.But one day i saw one premier 118 NE on road my eyes is freeze on that car 😍. After that i talk with my father on 118 NE Car he said it is very comfortable car and suspension system is very good the passengers inside the car never ever feel tiredness on long run even he said seats are extremely comfortable for passengers. Overall JERK LESS Journey.I ask what is the value of 118 NE today he said 20-25k maximum for good running condition.
                     From that day my search for 118 NE begins.I search on Internet there are so many owners of 118 NE posted on mouth shut. Com about the car i saw no single person can give negative comment on car.And as my father said about the comfort some owners mention same thing that my father tells me.
                             Now my searching begins in my city. I go to car scrapyard i found one 118 NE but it was in very bad condition here is pics of that car.






As you see the condition of the car it was totally dead. I again search for good running condition 118 NE i ask many mechanics for 118 NE he said 'BHAIYA 118 NE KA KYA KROGE SB SCRAP HO CHUKI HE SPARE PARTS BHI NHI MILTA HE .I told him if any comes in your vision immediately contact me. Now after that my final year exam comes and i was busy in my studies. After 3 months My friend priyansh who lives in Mhow 25 km from Indore call me and said one mechanic in mhow have 118 NE for sale it was like a lottery when he said in 20k running condition 😍. 
 
Actually Mhow is military area. Next day i went to mhow me and my friend go to the mechanics workshop. Mechanic said 118 NE is 1988 Model Petrol and one more 118 NE is available but it is diesel and having some papers issues.I was not in favour of diesel 118 i ask him where is petrol 118 he said 20km far from mhow and the asking price is 20k. I say ok lets go i want to see that car I'm very excited too see that car.Mechanic take his tata indica & one battery & 5 litre petrol with him. When we reaches that 118 NE is parked in front of owners house on forest land. I was surprised it is in very good condition but not running body line was perfect 👌 mechanic said the owner never drives it he parked it since 4 months. It was 1988 Petrol 118 NE with Quarter glass on driver and Co driver side.Actually the dust covers car badly.Here is the picture of that car
                                                   






Now after watching condition of the car i tell mechanic to please start its engine.That is the link of engine starting. 


After that mechanic said 20k for the car and papers are valid till 2024.I told him please decrease some amount i give final 17.5k to mechanic and grab the car and toe car with Tata indica and take it to Mhow at mechanics shop for some little work like Brakes, Engine etc. 

So friends this is my blog on 118 NE
