The homemade car will soon be displayed at the Mahindra Research Valley Museum
Anand Mahindra is very active on Social Media and often shares viral videos on his Twitter. Last year he shared the video of a man driving his homemade car from pieces collected in a scrapyard. He asked his team to locate the family as well.
Anand Mahindra keeps on collecting various cars for the Mahindra Research Valley museum. In a Tweet, he said that he is delighted to exchange the homemade car for a new Bolero. He wants the car to be an inspiration on how to become resourceful.
The owner of new Bolero is a blacksmith
Delighted that he accepted the offer to exchange his vehicle for a new Bolero. Yesterday his family received the Bolero & we proudly took charge of his creation.

The owner of the new Bolero is a blacksmith from Devrashtre village. Identified as Dattatraya Lohar, his story went viral after someone put a video of his car made out of scrap online.
Remember the video of this scrap car?
Lohar made the vehicle by hand. He used parts of a scrapyard and refurbished them to make the vehicle. The car gets powered by a two-wheeler engine. The tyres come from auto-rickshaws and look like a makeshift Jeep. In the video, Lohar said that his kids want to ride in a four-wheeler.
Since he did not have any money to buy a new car, he made it out of the scrapped parts. Anand Mahindra had also said that the authorities will soon seize the homemade car. He wanted to get his hands on the car before that happens.
Anand Mahindra announced it on his Twitter
In the past, Anand Mahindra has gifted numerous vehicles to sportsmen and the needy. He gifts the vehicles to keep them motivated and we think more people should join in.
What do you think about it? Should more manufacturers gift cars to such people? Do let us know in the comments below.
