The 2021 edition of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Car Rally was held in Mumbai today.



The cars gathered at Taj Land's End (Bandra) and drove to the south end of Worli Sea Face and back via the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. Approximately 60 cars participated in this year's event.

Now, I have attended the Mercedes Classic Car Rally every year since its inception. From my observation, I can tell you that the enthusiasm among fans of all ages is just growing with time.

But as they say, "Age is just a number."



Bring on the next edition!

Its an absolute pleasure seeing these old beauties, and in such immaculate condition. Your pictures have captured every aspect of the event!

Looking at the pictures makes me reminisce about some of the MB cars in my family over the years and wonder where they are now - W116 240D, W124 200E and a W126 280S.

For me the showstopper was without doubt the Nawanagar 300.

Restored immaculately in Rajkot.

Just goes to show its not only metros that can deliver quality restorations

Mercedes Benz - The Best or Nothing.

My favourite car brand with legacy that can't be matched by any other. I hope everyone gets to drive and be chauffer driven in a Merc someday.
