Standing as a testimony to India's solid motoring legacy, most of these vehicles at some point belonged to royalty. Each car has a story to share and each story involves numerous ups and downs, however the cars have been refurbished to the minute detail and the fact that they are still capable of making such a drive with ease goes to show the amount of engineering excellence that these machines possessed. In the very essence of the drive, the rally was a great way to experience the beginning!

The showstoppers and their stories….
