The 1903 Humber, India's oldest operating automobile, will be the main draw.

Additionally, prominent car fans Dhananjay Badamikar, the Dahanukar family, Yohan Poonawalla, Zaheer Vakil, the Sable family, Nitin Dossa, Yash Ruia, and others own the collection on display.
“The business is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. We only have an exhibition this year. Traffic problems have made holding a rally difficult”, according to Subhash Sanas, proprietor of the Subhash Sanas Vintage and Classic Car Museum.
He also added, “We make an effort to introduce a fresh model from the uncommon collection each year. In addition to supercars like Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, and others, the exhibition will showcase more than 50 antique scooters and motorbikes and more than 120 rare and classic automobiles, providing aficionados with a timeless look at automotive workmanship.
Additionally, the most beautiful vintage car in the show will receive a trophy in honor of the late Baburao Sanas, Pune's first mayor.”
