Thread moved out from the Assembly Line. Thanks for sharing!

[karlosdeville]

And I think I missed out on an important car that was on display 'Lal Pari', a family heirloom 1950 MG YT that recently travelled from Bombay to London! Apologies.

Thank you Karl for this wonderful report. Captures the Oberoi Concours in toto. The quality of this report is as good at the concours itself.

Having been there and experienced the same, I am able to relate to your posts completely. Hats off to you

I had a wonderful time at the Concours. Seeing the cars, meeting the owners and their families and enjoying the Oberoi hospitality were the highlights. Organization of such a massive event is mid boggling and many congratulations to Mr. Manvendra and Team

Some pictures from my end

Did a walk around with HH Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, the current Maharaja of Mysore. We discussed cars we went around each of the classes.


Since he knowns my car, did not need to explain much about my Daimler DB18. I explain to him my touring badges and long trips that I have undertaken in this car


Customary picture for the records


Prince Micheal of Kent spent time looking at the car. He liked the understated appeal of my car. Impressed with the engine !


With our former KVCCC President Sulaiman Jamal, who owns the Daimler DE27, part of the Mysore Class. KVCCC members with Mr. Jamal


The KVCCC Gang catches up!


Sign off with this picture on the Oberoi lawns with the Shiv Niwas Palace in the background


Cheers

Same question. A lot of these pictures of these timelessly beautiful cars will serve as my wallpaper at least for a few months. . Couldn't tear my eyes away from the 1967 Cadillac Deville Sedan, a sheer beauty.

Thank you for putting together this thread of bevy of beauties. I seemed to have missed it earlier.
