The 2022 edition of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Car Rally was held in Mumbai today.



The cars gathered at Taj Land's End (Bandra) and drove to the south end of Worli Sea Face and back via the Bandra-Worli Sea Link.

The first thing that caught my eye - some of the displayed cars had placards which read, "Restored at Mercedes-Benz Workshop" placed in front of them. Really heartening to see the world's oldest carmaker still supporting its old products.

One of the cars to get the Mercedes-Benz Workshop treatment was this beautiful 170:








Many of the regulars were present.

The Nurburg:

The future is electric and Mercedes took the opportunity to display the EQS - the company's most luxurious electric car at the moment:

The cars were scheduled to be flagged off at 10.30 am. But, by the time the actual flag-off happened, it was well past that time.

The pilot car was this EQS 580:

And the cars kept rolling out:

What a gorgeous bevy of cars!
Thank you for sharing.

If only I had the power (in Automotive terms) to wave a magic wand and stop and preserve these moments in time forever.

Beautiful!

Was the advertised anywhere or open to general public as I didn't come across anything around this at all? Would have loved to attend if this was an open event.

Especially enjoyed the convertibles & S-Class timeline range.
