The world of motoring has come a long way in the last century or so, and I sometimes wonder if in the modern world we will ever see the equivalent of the inventions of the past: the first aeroplane, the first car etc.

It is true though, that we are seeing many evolutions which may be mini revolutions in their own right. And one mini motoring revolution that will chance the face of Indian society is that of the Tata Nano.

We’ve seen the Nano crash test, the first Nano test drive and we’ve discussed what this car might mean for a nation of India. A couple of days ago, the first Tata Nano was delivered to the first happy customer.

The significance of this may be lost on Western and European markets, but Indian Autos Blog knows exactly what the first Tata Nano means. It says:

This will go down as a moment which every Indian cherished. The first ever Tata Nano was delivered to Mr.Ashok Raghunath Vichare. He was lost for words as he received keys to his grey Nano. His life would never be the same. He could now transport his family in a car, safe from the harsh climatic and road conditions of Mumbai.

The first three customers received their Nanos from none other than the chairman of Tata Sons, Ratan Tata, who could now assure himself of creating a piece history in the automotive world.
