Mumbai hosts rally of vintage cars
Showcasing the best of the bygone era, Vintage and Classic Car Club of India (V.C.C.C.I.) on Sunday hosted the annual rally with more than 100 rare vintage cars participating in the show, some of which dated way back to 1900. V.C.C.C.I. member, Nitin Dossa, said that he main objective of the rally was to tell the future generation about the old heritage of automobiles.
