Vintage cars swarm Delhi roads

Around 100 vintage cars stood in the sun flashing their chrome and brass outside the Dhyan Chand National Stadium , where they had stopped after a few kilometres' drive around Luyten's Delhi. Their owners, had a sparkle in their eyes of proud ownership of their beauties, which had started from Connaught Place for the 51st edition of The Statesman Vintage and Classic Cars Rally on Sunday. The National Green Tribunal last week gave a nod to the rally, making these vintage cars an exception to its order banning vehicles older than 15 years from plying on Delhi roads. The car owners ranged from 30-year-olds to octogenarian army veterans.
