News Desk, News Nation 360 : Bringing together some of the most beautiful cars from various eras, the Hindusthan Club successfully organised "A Timeless Journey," a big vintage and classic car & bike event. The event attracted car lovers, collectors, and photographers who were keen to see and document the magnificence of these ancient vehicles, offering a breathtaking window into the heyday of motoring. The Hindusthan Club, in association with the Classic Drivers Club, organised a complete exhibition of car and bike history with 40 vintage and classic cars and 23 vintage motorcycles commemorating the history of motoring from its beginnings to the end of the 20th century. The event was carefully divided into categories: vintage vehicles (pre-1940), classic vehicles (1941–1970), post-era vehicles (1971 and later), and a special section for two-wheelers, each car a reflection of the owner's passion. The classic automobile range featured treasures like the 1935 Austin 7 Ruby, 1926 Erskine Model 50, 1927 Austin 7 Chummy, 1934 Austin 7 Tourer, 1935 Ford Model C, and the regal 1937 Rolls Royce 25/30, looking for pre-war motor car styling. The vintage car section included popular models such as the 1958 VW Beetle, 1951 Austin A40 Devon, 1957 Fiat 1100 Elegant, 1967 Mercedes-Benz 230S, 1951 Mercury 8, 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster, 1950 Morris Minor Tourer, and 1955 MG Magnette ZA, reflecting the variety and creativity of automobiles in the

mid-20th century. The post-era car category comprised the 1972 Morris Marina, 1994 HM Contessa, and 1984 Land Rover Range Rover Classic, which exemplified the shifting face of motor vehicle design during the second half of the century. The two-wheeler lineup was equally stunning, with old motorcycles like the 1937 Ariel Red Hunter, 1936 James 125, 1941 Matchless G3L, 1940 Triumph 3HW, 1948 BSA Bantam D1, 1951 BSA Bantam, and the 1965 Lambretta LI150, as well as newer classics like the 1983 Yezdi D250 Classic and 1989 Yamaha RX100. One of the big highlights of the event was that it featured historically important cars, including a Rolls-Royce that was used by India's first President, Dr Rajendra Prasad, and a Triumph Spitfire that had previously belonged to Bollywood legend Jackie Shroff and had appeared in the film "Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar," bringing with it an additional layer of cultural and historical significance to the show, really accentuating the classic appeal of old motoring. Hindusthan Club President, Rishabh C. Kothari, spoke further about the event and stated that this occasion was a celebration of the heyday of automobiles and the ardent people who keep these classic beauties alive. Every car on the exhibit had a tale to tell, and seeing how excited both owners and guests were was incredibly motivating. The Hindusthan Club is still dedicated to honouring tradition and making memories for both our members and Kolkata.
