Some motorheads travel from museums to rallies, to watch, touch and get the feel of vintage cars. And it’s not about numbers for any collector. A vintage collector who owns at least one car will take care of the vehicle like a family member. Rajesh Ambal of Palakkad is a known figure among vintage car aficionados. Just like many children, his love for cars started with toys and scale models. Now, he and his wife Ramya run an amazing empire of vintage/ classic cars and more than 1,000 scale models. Currently, the couple has close to 30 priceless cars in their personal collection and more are being restored across different garages. They meet the cost for the maintenance of these cars partly by renting them out for exhibitions, weddings and movies Rajesh and Ramya travel to remote villages and urban suburbs of India to find cars that are abandoned near local workshops, scrap yards or backyards. Each car they buy at scrap prices then warrants another journey, a trip to find original parts for their restoration. A couple of years ago, the couple launched RR Vintage and Classic Automobiles: Collection and Restoration, with garages in Palakkad and Pollachi. Rajesh is currently the vice president of The Historical Cars Association of India. “It is a misconception that the rich alone own vintage cars,” says Rajesh. His collection of scale models contains the toy cars he played with in his childhood. “Many start with one car and work on it tirelessly for years to restore it to its former glory. And that speaks volumes of their passion,” he says. Rajesh has come across several youngsters who invest in Ambassadors, Fiats and Maruti 800s as their first cars and spend time restoring them for many months. “Today’s car will be tomorrow’s pride for them. People tirelessly work by acquiring spares from all over the world. Each generation wants to invest in a car that was part of childhood which connects to lots of memories and that’s what this passion is all about.” The vintage arena is a wide space that consists of antiques, vintage, classics and super classics categories. India has a vast collection of vintage and classic cars that speak about the history of this country. Cars belonging 50 years and above are called heritage cars and have a separate privileged registration number. Approximately, 3000 vintage cars exist in India today, valued at Rs 350 crore. Some of the biggest vintage car collectors in India own the rarest cars such as the Mercedes 540 K and the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, valued at more than Rs 1 crore. Fashion shows will simply fail in the glamour quotient, in front of a classic/vintage car rally! Among the affluent class in India, vintage car shows can even be part of private functions. Some super-luxury hotels use such cars to service high-profile guests. Motoring clubs, associations and social media groups organise regular rallies in different parts of India. WhatsApp/Facebook groups such as Pan India, Goa Vintage and VCMC keep collectors connected, share valuable information and also encourage new collectors into their forums. Educative sessions and sales of spare parts are also held. A lot of iconic models from brands like Rolls Royce, Mercedes, Jaguar, Lincoln, Beetle, Plymouth, Cadillac, MG, GM, Ford etc grace these events. Many shows like 21 Gun Salute, Statesman and Cartier encourage collectors from around the country.
