Mumbai/IBNS: Autocar India in collaboration with Volkswagen India hosted ‘VolksDrive’, the Volkswagen Classic Car Rally on last Sunday.
The rally was hosted at the Razzberry Rhinoceros in Juhu.
At the VolksDrive 2019, classic Volkswagen owners in India, from across the country, came together on the same platform, maximizing the opportunity to display their classic cars and also share their common passion as car collectors.
On Sunday morning, the rally was flagged off at 10:30 am.
After a leisurely drive down Juhu, right along the beach, the participants returned to the venue, followed by a felicitation ceremony.
Some of the cars included a pair of Karmann Ghia, early generation Golfs, a Passat and the famous Kübelwagen and Kurierwagen. Classic car collectors: Goenka, Keith Mascarenhas, Gaurav Gohil, Abbas Jasdanwalla, Siddhartha Khona, and Anoop Thakur were some of the attendees and participants of the event.
Steffen Knapp, Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, said, "The carlines present are not only niche but also have a personality that defines each one of them. It gives me immense pleasure to witness this large gathering of passionate Volks.
Today, marks the start of a new journey and we hope to continue clocking miles today, tomorrow and forever."
