Though Jaipur has a sizable number of vintage and classic cars, the drive's were not happening, with most cars coming out just once in the year during the annual rally, very few cars were exercised regularly, except the ones which are rented out for weddings, etc.
In September 2018, a bunch of us decided to change this and formed a whats-app group and decided to go for at-least one Sunday drive every month.
We added many people who would be interested, but eventually we have members from just 8 families, which together own a good number of cars which include restored cars and many projects.
Our little group is called the
"Jaipur Classic car Drives".
Over the last one year we have had some 20+ drives, will be sharing a few pictures from each drive, but they will have some regulars cars repeatedly.
For the very 1st drive on 30th September 2018, we decided to assemble at the Statue circle in Jaipur, which is convenient to all, many of us had known each other for a while, and some were meeting for the first time ever.
We had 1 bike and 6 cars in attendance

Wonderful Karthik that you have started to do these drives. You have everything going for you at Jaipur. Great city, lovely places to visit for your longer drives and the great mix of cars.
Jaipur seems to favour blue, so we need to rename Jaipur to "Pink City with Blue V&C Cars"
With so many tourers, guess summers will remain a challenge. Nice to see so many different types of cars in these drives.
Keep driving.
Cheers

I am usually leaving the city to get to my place of work on a Sunday morning. I saw one of the cars featured here (the golden impala) near Sodala and followed it till Rambag Circle at a slow pace. It was lovely to see a car of this vintage looking brand new. A very well kept / restored car indeed. Hats off to you all for starting these drives. A treat to the eye every now and then.
Excellent job Kartik ji. Kudos to the effort taken for putting this thread together!

Great to see you here C.ARPIT, looking forward to many more drives with your great cars.
Didn't know these cars existed in jaipur and too in running condition! I would love to see the cars in person next time you organize a ride, is there a way to know beforehand?
