Some 10 newly restored cars from Jaipur are also expected to make their debut.

Am so glad to see that Volvo Amazon. It was a dark blue, imported by a Dr John from Malaysia and he kept using it till he gave up driving. Saw the car left in a workshop on Cambridge Road, now it has reappeared!

[V.Narayan]

Thank you for all the trouble you have taken to post these dozens and dozens of eye catching photos of these drop dead beauties. I kept trying to pick the two most gorgeous but failed :-)

I wonder in 60 years from now looking back on today's cars whether enthusiasts of 2080 will find today's cars as mind blowing as we find these of our yester-years. Great to see two cars restored by you on the show.

[C.ARPIT]

Great report. Hats off to you for taking so much effort in compiling all the pictures and details of the wonderful event.

[KPS]

Thanks for sharing Kartik. Not surprisingly beautiful range of cars. Jaipur is a blessed place with so much history. So many restorers who keep churning out cars at a fast pace.

Great to see your cars too. Hope that one day, I will be able to attend this superb rally and be your co-driver.

Cheers

Meanwhile here is some press coverage that the event got in the local newspaper, unfortunately for some reasons, The Times of India, doesn't cover this event.
