The city's roads might be clogged with classic cars. In a clash of the old and beautiful, the Vintage and Classic Car Club of India (VCCCI) will hold its vintage car rally in Mumbai from Nariman Point to Dadar and back.
The rally is to start at 9 am and over 100 cars are expected to be on the roads including classic bikes. A 1911 Triumph bike is the oldest in the category.
The car rally usually runs till Bandra, but, "this year it is extraordinarily hot, so we have cut short the route. We were also not getting permission to run this rally earlier after the 26/11 attacks. We have permission now," says Western India Automobile Association (WIAA) chairman, Nitin Dossa.u00a0u00a0u00a0u00a0u00a0u00a0
