The Maharana's collection of Old-timers |
The famous Cadillac emblem
| An old-timers collection in India |
| The Maharanas of Udaipur have
had the good idea to keep their cars over the years and have recently
opened a small but interesting collection of old-timers. The vehicles of
three generations of Maharanas consist of American, German and British
cars. We saw the following : Buick, Rolls Royce, Vauxhall, Mercedes-Benz,
Chevrolet, Opel, MG, Austin, Ford... Some humble cars as well as
Rolls Royces modified for hunting or to move around the Udaipur polo team !
Nearly all where in original condition.
