JOIN USThe third meet of the Bangalore Vintage Group, a group of like-minded enthusiasts who share a common passion for vintage vehicles, was held recently at the Jayamahal Palace Hotel.
In fact, the meet not only included vintage and classic motorcycles and cars but also jeeps, mopeds and even cycles. A lot of people from various clubs participated in the event, including Bangalore Yamaha RD350 Club, Bangalore Bullet Club, Bangalore Scooter Club, Bangalore Jawa and Yezdi Motorcycle Club and the Bangalore Fiat Club and Ambassador Club.
The showstoppers at the event included two Norton 750 cafe racers from 1962 and 1968 respectively, a BSA Goldstar 1957, a 1976 Honda CB 750 4-cylinder, an army BSA and a 1941 Indian Chief, which was given the ‘Best Bike of the Show’ prize. Two cycles belonging to the World War Two era were also part of the show.
In the cars, the highlights were a Standard 10, a 1956 Landmaster, Fiats and Ambassadors from the 60s and 70s as well as restored military jeeps. But it was the 1950 Vauxhall Roadster that stole the show and won the ‘Best Car of the Show’ prize.
The short meet made for an interesting meeting point for lovers of all things vintage and classic. Other than the prize, each participant also received a certificate and sticker. The meet was a grand success and everybody appreciated the initiative of the group for bringing together various automotive marvels from different eras.
As for the organisers, the event was a landmark one as it saw the largest turn out yet. It only encouraged the group to strive towards bringing in more people and more vehicles for the next meet.
