The Hindu
All-time greats such as the Dodge Viper, Ferrari 348, Honda NSX and the BMW 325i (E30) as well as popular modern classics such as the Mazda Miata and Mercedes-Benz SEC were part of the rally
On the morning of October 31, Mumbai witnessed a Sunday unlike any other. Iconic automobiles, from the 70’s to the early 2000s, rolled onto the streets of the city for the inaugural Turtle Wax Modern Classic Rally. The event, held in association with Shaman Young Timers and Autocar India, went beyond its concept as a rally and proved to be the culmination of a movement celebrating iconic cars that represent old-school engineering and modern performance standards.
