Nostalgia is a powerful force. It’s why so many people yearn for the days when there were no mobile phones, internet, or social media. All cars in the 2023 Modern Classic Car Rally last week belonged to that era. A Modern Classic is any car built between 1970 and 2010, and includes sports cars, coupes, sedans, practical vans and rugged off-roaders.
The rally is a relaxed Sunday drive, with enthusiasts cruising in cars that have no navigation, no infotainment systems, no voice commands. The only screen in the vehicles is the windscreen. This year, 55 cars from the Modern Classic era set off from Mumbai’s Grand Hyatt hotel in one grand convoy to an incredible reception from city folks, who lined the streets for most of the 25km route.
