Vintage and Classic Car Rally, Kolkata
Dressed for the car: Vintage and Classic Car Rally, Kolkata, West Bengal.
The Sunday we were there in Kolkata was the day of the annual Vintage and Classic Car Rally organized by The Statesman. The cars started arriving just before seven in the morning at the Rabindra Sagar Stadium, collecting their goody bags at the gate and then parking at their designated places. It took more than an hour and a half for the more than 120 cars to arrive and be ready to roll out for a ride on a designated route after the inauguration ceremony. There were three cars from before WW I and a few bikes too. It was a pleasure seeing them so well maintained.
