Nitin Dossa with an award-winning vintage car

Vintage cars can sometimes have a phoenix-like quality, in the sense that they can rise from the ashes. What we mean by this is that all too often, these cars seemingly outlive their utility and are consigned to the junkyard, only for an astute enthusiast to notice their unfulfilled potential and restore them to their former splendor. And that is exactly the case with some of the vehicles that will now be on display at Nehru Science Centre, where a vintage car and motorcycle exhibition will be launched for the public today.
