oye ! I am confirmed at the venue more or less due to the fascination towards vintage vehicles , however Ive not seen any news / press releases of this anywhere , Is this part of the vccci vintage car fiesta 24th & 25th January 2009 ? listed on the website of vccci (there is no information of the location as far as i could see , there is an entry form in an exe format ..which doesnt work , with the virus TANATOS in it *sighs* )

One major thing about such events organised by such organizations is the SERIOUS lack of PR , they can easily have a release typed out on the web on the free pr sites and it will be picked up by google news & eventually the print media as well .

7 bentleys were driven down yesterday from Valsad to Taj Landsend Bandra. One car had some sputters in Delhi and had to be shipped back. The cars comprise of the 4.5/ 6.5 and 8 litre Bentleys. The cars would be reaching CCI club by around now that is 11.30am and would be there till 4.30pm. My Brother was with the cars from Valsad hence i know.

My brother has taken many pictures of the cars. I shall ask him to Post them. Since it is open to the public i do not think the Engine bays would be open, Or the owners there. I shall try if i see someone i know.

will do that. My brother was mentioning one of the Bentleys has a prehistoric addaptation of the K&N airfilter. I presume it would be in the 8 litre.

Ok just took some pictures from my Brothers album. Some of the cars could be repeats so please bear with me.
