It was circa 1900 when the first car came into India. In the next few years three Oldsmobiles were imported into the country, and within 10 years of the first car, there were several thousand vehicles, driven by the many Maharajas, Princes, Industrialists and Philanthropists in the country.

    Anticipating the need for cars in India, General Motors set up, as early as in 1927, their own "assembly" in Mumbai. Within 10 years General Motors India Ltd. (as they were known then too) could churn out as many as 11,000 cars and trucks - Buicks, Chevrolets and Vauxhalls - per year.

    Today, more than 75 years later, India boasts of a sizable collection of early and vintage cars. The largest collection of Vintage cars in the world is in India, owned by Mr. Pranlal Bhogilal. The Vintage and Classic Car Club of India was founded by Mr. Pranlal Bhogilal with the objective of preserving this rich heritage of cars in the country.

The vintage and classic car and bike clubs  are responsible for  founding and kick-starting the vintage car movement, a movement that continues to gain momentum and generate great enthusiasm to this day
