When the first motorcars started coming to India,
Rajasthan's princes and aristocracy were among the
earliest to order them. These, in turn, have become the
venue for various rallies. Vintage car rally: An annual
event, the Jaipur Vintage Car Rally has become an
important one on the Indian social calendar. Held in
January, and keenly contested, it invites prestigious
entries. Since some of the aristocratic families have
still kept their vintages in their garages, the turnout
too is impressive, with some cars dating back to the
very early years of the turn of the century.
However, if you are a vintage car buff, and are likely
to miss the rally, you will find it heartening to note
that many of these beauties are still in peak running
condition, and are alos hired out for special occasions,
rides, incentive parties, or marriages. |
