    There's an Zen near my house that's been lying abandoned for a few years years. I'm wondering if going to prison for stealing it will be worth it.

    My grandfather had a zen steel , and he didn't know how precious it is , and drove it around 2 lakh km and after I grew up I had restored it and put it back to it's original days .

    I just take a pause whenever i see a Carburetted Zen. That was the charisma of the Zen. Infact one of my relatives owned a Zen which they maintained poorly unfortunately, only to upgrade it with the Estilo. But the OG Zen is still a dream car for me along with an e46 3 series

    btw 2nd car - 2x engine overhaul :(

    @the_winged_helm Год назад +2

    The OG Jellybean design still holds up so well today!
    When MS launched the limited edition Carbon and Steel series, it was the stuff of dreams for a teenager who aspired to drive around in one with his imaginary cool mates when he entered college life!
    But of course, with an education loan and love of two wheels overpowering, this remained a dream.
    Wish we had one such car in the Indian Market right now, sigh!

    4:59 Zen did not get power steering till euro 2 was launched with mpfi 16 valve engine. all euro 1 cars had cat con and needed unleaded fuel which was put on as sticker, green color, on fuel lid with 'greenwheels' written on it.. even the Premier Padmini S1 which was launched in 93 too.

    Brilliant nimble car, the ZEN. Now all we see are big ass SUVs and wannabe SUVs type vehicles gobbling up space on the road adding to city traffic woes. I hope Maruti brings the ZEN back - simple, efficient and practical car for the city, that's also affordable.

    I have 99 zen vx Miami gold.. I don't agree on the carb part it starts every morning and in cold winters too with 1 crank.. 😁 😜 Part wise may be diffucult to find.. But 3 years back i repacked my carb with all parts available.. And recently changed all suspension parts, steering column and drive shafts.. Its so popular that most of OEM Parts are still available at least at my place.

    I had a 1998 Zen for up until 2021. I did buy 2 other cars in 2014 and 2021 both Hyundai's. But Zen is the car I grew into and learnt to drive on. And mine was a golden coloured one. My father took it and me all across India north south east and west! Sadly I had to give her up in 2021. But Zen will always be there in my heart.

    The car is so good that we haven't upgraded to a new car as i am still looking for a car that would put a big smile on my face, every time I drive it.

    Oh my god. Brought back so many memories of me and my father travelling like crazy in ZEN. Gj 06 AA 887 - the car that sowed the seed of "travel by road" for me. I still remember my crazy trip from Vadodara (Gujarat) to kanyakumari - travelling through many awesome terrains, hot, humid, rainy weather. That 2 week journey to and fro 😢. Since he's no more, how i wish I could show him this video. You, cyrus sir - surely made my otherwise routine day, so awesome and filled with tears of joy.
