The Historical Cars Association of India (HCAI) organised a first-of-its-kind Pan India Vintage and Classic Car Show at the Rayala Techno Park at the Hotel Turyya Campus on Old Madras Road. Sandeep Rai Rathore, Commissioner of Police, Greater Chennai Police was the chief guest at the function.
Sandeep Rai Rathore,said, āI appreciate the efforts of the owners in maintaining these old vintage cars in such good condition. With so many visitors here, it is a good opportunity for me to request everyone to drive carefully. Road safety is important, and everyone should keep that in mind every time you are on the driving on the roads. I wish HCAI all the best for this event.ā
Ranjit Pratap, President of HCAI said āThe Vintage car fraternity of India was planning such a show for a long-time which got delayed due to the pandemic. But despite many hurdles and notwithstanding the rains and floods in western and northern zones we have managed a sizeable participation from these two regions with almost 20 plus cars. Today we have some rare classics and the oldest car on display is my T Ford from 1926. This is the first of this kind of an initiative by HCAI and its Committee and I hope it will be an annual event with longer drives from Chennai to other important destinations in the South.ā
