An Ahmedabad-based businessman has embarked on a special journey in a cherished UK-made vintage car to mark 76 years of India’s independence as well as a personal family milestone.
Daman Thakore, 50, will be accompanied by his 75-year-old father, 21-year-old daughter and a close-knit group of friends and family as they cover approximately 12,000 kilometres across 16 countries to take a 1950 MG YT to its birthplace of the MG factory in Abingdon, south-east England.
Fondly named Lal Pari, the red 1950 MG YT has stood the test of time for the family for many generations over the years and set off for the UK this week with a special monogram of the Sardar Patel Statue of Unity.
