This Vintage Drive in partnership with Vintage and Classic Car Club of India and Western India Automobile Association saw over 200 vintage cars and bikes participating in the event -- a 20-kilometre long stretch from BKC to Ballard Pier in south Mumbai. To kick off this event, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray rolled in with style, who drove himself to the venue.
