PrancingHorse Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Mercedes celebrated 120 years in Motorsport by having a Classic car rally that had some fantastic old vintage Mercedes cars and modern classics from the pre 1994 era. The rally was held in Mumbai this morning. The cars started assembling from early morning and slowly hundreds of enthusiasts flocked the venue to catch a glimpse of these loved and well kept machines. There were also some rare cars too. The cars were lined up according to the respective models and that made it easier everyone to see multiple cars of the same model range in one place. I took quite a few pics and will be posting them in the following posts. Pictures in the following posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrancingHorse Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 The W124 is a very popular car among enthusiasts and quite a number of nice examples were seen including convertibles. The W124 was the first Mercedes to go on sale in India way back in 1996 The W140 S Class fondly known as the tank. I spotted 2 examples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
