The 21 Gun Salute Vintage Car Press Meet successfully concluded in New Delhi yesterday. Dhairya Gupta reports:

We at Motoroids love cars and bikes in all forms and shapes. But vintage cars have a special place in our hearts. So when we got an invite for announcement of “21 Gun Salute International Vintage Car Rally & Concours Show 2016”, we were really excited. We were looking forward to seeing the newly restored 1952 Daimler DB18 Drophead Coupe which was previously owned by Raja Saheb Bahadur Khetri. The venue was 21 Gun Salute Restaurant. The restaurant has a huge collection of vintage things. We saw some vintage telephones, guns and two beautiful bikes along with the Daimler Drophead. Now coming to the reason we were there – discussion on the Roadmap of 21 Gun Salute Vintage Car Rally & Concours.
