Mumbai: Mumbai witnessed the largest gathering of vintage Rolls Royce cars in India at the Vintage and Classic Cars Club of India (VCCCI)’s Vintage Car Fiesta 2025. The exhibition celebrated automotive history by celebrating 100 years of Morris Garages, 120 years of Rolls Royce and 125 years of Packard.
On Saturday, vintage car enthusiasts flocked the World Trade Centre in Cuffe Parade to witness a rare gathering of vintage Rolls Royces, Packards, Bentleys and Cadillacs among others. The two-day annual vintage car fiesta hosted by VCCCI featured more than 200 vintage and classic cars and bikes along with some of the rarest automobiles ever made.
The exhibition became a rare occurrence as it became India’s largest vintage Rolls Royce gathering ever as 26 vintage marques participated in the event. Nitin Dossa, chairman of VCCCI, said that he aims to bring 25 more Rolls Royce at the club’s grand event in December to create historical gathering for vintage car enthusiasts.
“The aim of such an exhibition is to attract people towards rare vintage cars and make them appreciate these vehicles. It is specifically targetted to attract the youth to showcase them what cars were driven by their grandfathers or great-grandfathers,” added Dossa.
VCCCI has been hosting its annual Vintage Car Fiesta for the last four years and this this year’s event is also a spectacular celebration of automotive heritage, featuring over 100 vintage and classic cars, 10 supercars, and 100 vintage and classic bikes, including some of the rarest automobiles and two-wheelers ever made.
