Oh My God. My prayers for his family. He was the owner of Sanghi Brothers, Indore a big Tata truck dealer. I knew him professionally for the entire 1980s and he was a pleasure to work with. May God bless his soul.

I used to rib him that he spent more time with his collection than his business. And he would joke back that he ran the business to fund the collection.

One of India's leading and foremost classic car collectors Sharad Sanghi, passed away on 21st February. Indore based Sharad Sanghi was a true car enthusiast and started collecting cars well before it became fashionable. In fact Sharad Sanghi can be termed as one of the pioneering Indian car collectors as he acquired most of his collection in the 70's and 80's. Almost all of his cars were restored by well known automotive historian Manvendra Singh Barwani and his partner T.P Singh. Sharad Sanghi was very passionate about his collection and only collected classic cars that had a substantial Indian history and heritage. With a collection of some 120 cars, he was also one of India's biggest classic car collectors and at the 2017 Cartier Concourse D'Elegance event held in Hyderabad, he was given the "Cartier Honour Trophy" for helping save India's automotive heritage.
