Vintage and classic cars have always occupied a special place in everyone’s heart. Vintage cars are not only a show of class, but also a passion of some enthusiasts who like to collect and preserve them as treasures.
India saw its first car in the year 1898 and within 12 years several thousand models poured in, which were driven by our Maharajas, Princes, Industrialists, and Philanthropists in the country. India does have a large number of vintage cars, which use to belong to Rajas, Maharajas, and Nawabs. To maintain their charm and to popularize them, vintage car rallies are held in various cities in India from time to time drawing fairly large crowds.
Honorary secretary of the Vintage and Classic Cars Club of India, which is an association of 150 vintage car owners, “We get at least one request a week for cars.” There is so much demand for these cars that people do not mind spending ridiculous amounts of money for special occasions like films, wedding, hospitality, and so on. Vintage cars can be more expensive than modern-day styles. For instance, if a Mercedes E-Class rental cost Rs 10,000 a day, then a Rolls Royce would cost anywhere between Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000 a day. A Cadillac or a Buick can cost up to Rs 15,000 a day, while an Austin can be hired for between Rs 5,000 to Rs 7,000.
According to experts, the total number of vintage cars available in India is close to 3,000 and valued at Rs 350 Crore. India’s big-wig vintage car collectors include Pranlal Bhogilal of Ahmedabad, Sharad Shanghi of Indore, and UB group chairman Vijay Mallya. Together these three own more than 350 vintage and classic cars inclusive of some rare models like the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost and Mercedes 540 K, each with a current price estimation of Rs 1 Crore.
Vintage is definitely turning Modern!

Mini motorcycles are also known as pocket motorcycles. They have 25 or 50 cc engines and can run at a speed of 20 – 30 miles per hour. They weigh about 50 pounds and stand at a foot and a half high. They can be powered by oil, gas or electric engines and look exactly like a real motorcycle except they are smaller in size. The snazziest models cost thousands of dollars and come from Italy. Cheaper versions are produced in China, and cost from $200 to $500.
Young and old people are attracted to mini motorcycles. They are great for college students and retired seniors to get around town. They are supposed to be used on closed racetracks, private roads or places where three are no public laws prohibiting their use. The less congested the area where a mini motorcycle is driven, the better. There are too many accidents involving mini motorcycles and cars, trucks and vans. The driver doesn’t stand a chance. Accidents occur because larger vehicles don’t see the mini motorcycle because of its low height.
Many people like to use mini motorcycles nowadays as they are cheaper than a normal sized motorcycle, and they are more fuel-efficient. However, if children ride these mini motorcycles, it is advised for them to wear helmets. This is because every year, the main cause of children’s accidents comes from riding these types of vehicles. Both bodily and brain damage occurs when a child falls from a mini motorcycle. This is why there is a rule that a child must be at least 16 years of age to ride a motorized mini motorcycle.
