| Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost 1922 Windovers - Best car of the show. |
It was a surreal drive back in time at the 21-Gun Salute Vintage and Classic Cars Concours, held in the enchanting environs of the Ambience Island golf course, Gurgaon from 21st to 23rd February 2025.
There was a splendid array of vintage and classic cars. It was particularly delightful to see the exquisite collection of Rolls-Royce, Bentley and MG cars, and some rare ones like Cord and Tatra. There was also a range of motorcycles and scooters. They were all beautifully restored, but there were a few cars in pristine, unrestored condition, still running beautifully. This photo feature will evoke nostalgia among connoisseurs of heritage cars.

The car of the show, the magnificent ex-Mayurbhanj State Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost 1922 reminded me of the Silver Ghost 1921 #32UG Hooper Phaeton of my grandfather Maharaja Vijaysinhji of Rajpipla. A link to my article on this car is given below:
There were judges and comperes from around the world who did a thoroughly professional job.
Those interested in vintage and classic cars rallies and concours may like to know that my grandfather Maharana Chhatrasinhji of Rajpipla participated in what was perhaps the first car rally in India, the Bombay to Mahabaleshwar rally in 1906 in his Clement-Bayard 16 hp car. Another link to my article on this rally is given below:
As the golden sunshine made way for late winter evening chill, the grand finale was the prize distribution ceremony. The winning cars and two-wheelers and their owners and restorers drove jubilantly up the ramp to applause all round. It was indeed a great ride down memory lane for car aficionados.
