The how, what and when of collecting vintage cars.

Tutu Dhawan
Cool Classics

As every wheel fanatic will attest that vintage and classic cars are as much a piece of art as classic and vintage art is. At a time when aerodynamics and other technological nuances in automobiles was still at a formative stage, car designers showcased their creative freedom by creating what they imagined a vehicle could be. So there were specific vehicles made for the Maharajas for ceremonial use known as coronation cars, then there were seperate cars made for shikars and outdoor use. The most imaginative one was the swan-shaped Rolls Royce ordered by the Maharaja of Nabha that was finally smuggled out of India in the mid eighties and sold at one of the auctions in the UK for a couple of million pounds sterling.
