It will be a short term capital loss....as per IT act  if all the assets of a block of assets are sold (on which depreciation was chargead) ....and if there is balance left in the block after reducing the sale price....the same is treated as short term loss
Being the imported cars are not entitiled for depreciation under the Income tax the asset is eligible for long term capital gain.
