The 11th edition of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Car Rally took place in spectacular style on November 24 in Bandra showcasing vintage and classic car enthusiasts's love for the car. 
 
Held in Mumbai, this year’s rally brought together an unparalleled collection of over 95 timeless Mercedes-Benz classics, with around 60 of the icons making their debut at the show, drawing record crowds to witness the grandeur and legacy of the brand with the three-pointed star. What started as a one-off event to celebrate 120 Years of Motorsport with Mercedes-Benz has turned into a behemoth of an event, with car lovers flocking to the grand streets of Mumbai from all parts of the country. 

The cars were laid across majestically on the sprawling, grand lawns of Taj Land’s End in Bandra, before taking on the rest of the city. 

With chief guest and MLA Ashish Shelar in attendance, the rally was flagged off by Mercedes-Benz India MD & CEO, Santosh Iyer, along with Lance Bennett, VP-Sales & Marketing, and Emmanuel Bacquet, curator of MAC - Museum Art & Cars in Germany and head of the Selection Committee for Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. 

Among the standout highlights was the much-anticipated Supercharged Class, showcasing the iconic Kompressor (German for supercharger) models from the 1920s and 1930s that ushered in the age of superchargers pioneered by Mercedes-Benz. Spectators were enthralled by the elegance of the 500K, the sheer presence of the 540K, and the engineering marvel that is the 630K—each a masterpiece of Mercedes-Benz innovation and craftsmanship. The 2024 MBCCR marked the first time in history that all three of these titans were present at the same location, making the event all the more grand and memorable.
