After a long hiatus - Bangalore Club hosted the KVCCC vintage car show along with Krishnaiah Chetty. This was on a smaller scale and brought out some of the individual's cars as opposed to the large collections

A lot of the cars were featured earlier so am posting the new entrants and more significant ones. Sun was a bit sharp so apologies for the exposure


Out in front

The old Mysore Daimler - our favourite Daimler could not make it as it was burning the tarmac, Enroute from Pondicherry!





The sponsors cars - out front. These belong to the family and the cars sometimes are used in the evening

Some Modern Classics

This is a new entrant - a C3 Corvette - belonged to a big Mumbai family who lost interest in it





A couple of over embellished VW's





71convertibles Fiat 1500









Morris 1000 Traveller





Austin Mini

The star of the show - 1950 Jaguar XK. Was abandoned in a Coimbatore Mill. Owners would not let it go until a big collector bought it but decided against keeping it. Took 3 years to restore and a new engine

Few more new entrants

A cute Peugeot 203

The American Group!

Excellent @Ajmat! The XK is an absolute treat to the eyes. Was it a single day exhibition or is it still going on? Though you mentioned it's a small scale show, would have loved to pay a visit!
Maybe we should have a separate thread where all announcements regarding such expos, car shows among other events are made.

While I enjoy the reporting on all such events, I have a humble request. Could we please have the names of the cars and their year of manufacture if possible? Would be great for guys like me who love these cars but am not too knowledgeable about these makes and models?

Well ajmat, we did make it back in time. We left Chennai at 6 am and reached the Bangalore Club just before 1 pm!. Not a bad timing of a shade below 7 hours.



The last 12 days away from home, as we travelled close to 2100 kms in the Daimler, had too much excitement and we had to get home to meet our families. We stayed for half an hour, met the KVCCC members, before we decided to leave.

Cheers

Fantastic. Absolutely brilliant. Don't know where to begin with the compliments for this. Not only was the 2100 km a testament to the passion of all involved with this journey, but the effort made to come back in time for an event shows the dedication to participate in the event. Hope you enjoy some much needed time with your amazing family. Hats off.

Totally agree, I always wonder how other folks are able to follow/keep track of such events. Would be awesome if such upcoming events were posted here in TBHP forum

Apologies but as this was a club event, I was not sure it was open to public.
