CLASSIC INDIA 2013

CLASSIC INDIA 2013

24 January to 21 February 2013 – 20 classic cars on the roads of northern India for trip of a lifetime Classic car owners from the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Finland and the United States have signed up to Classic India 2013.
 
Flagging off from the heart of Delhi at the landmark Imperial Hotel, 15 classic cars will tour around northern India for 30 days of adventure. 

The route is carefully planned to make the most of quieter rural roads with many outstanding drives,
and participants see a side of India that tourists rarely experience.
 
The preservation of vintage and classic cars is a very interesting part of India’s history and on the Rally
we visit many museums and important collections of cars. Cars taking part include a 1925 Lanchester,
driven many times in India by Peter and Sue Noble, a 1937 Lagonda L645 belonging to Michael
Haentjes and a 1937 Chevy Convertible owned by Xavier del Marmol.

The Rally visits magnificent forts and palaces in Rajasthan like Udaipur, Jodphur and Jaisalmer, as well as the fascinating state of Gujurat, often overlooked by tourists. Accommodation is provided in the finest hotels, which are carefully chosen for both comfort and character.
 
The Rally is organised by ROARR Rallies, a small classic car rally company based in Kent run by Conrad Birch. 

A property investor and keen car collector, Conrad organised his first classic car rally in 1999, the unforgettable 1st Jewel of India.
