The Vintage & Classic Car Collection is one of it’s kind in India and located in the city of Jodhpur. The grand limousines and cars showcased in the Collection belong to the House of Mewar and are still in perfect running condition. Visitors are privy to the display of the magnificent Rolls-Royce, 1939 Cadillac open convertibles, rare Mercedes models, 1936 Vauxhall and 1937 Opel models. The Collection has been curated for the benefit of vintage car-lovers from India and around the world.

Highlights
• 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom used in the Bond film Octopussy
• Cadillac convertible that whisked Queen Elizabeth II to the airport in 1961
• A short city tour of Jodhpur in a vintage car

You will be escorted from your hotel in Jodhpur and driven to Umaid Bhawan Palace, which houses the Vintage and Classic Car Collection.

Umaid Bhawan Palace is one of the world's largest private residences. A part of the palace is managed by Taj Hotels. Named after Maharaja Umaid Singh, grandfather of the present owner Gaj Singh, this edifice has 347 rooms and serves as the principal residence of the erstwhile Jodhpur royal family.

The Vintage Car collection is housed in the original Palace garage, an attractive setting for such a unique and remarkable collection. The semi-circular garage with its forecourt is housed within a greater courtyard, creating a pleasant hideaway from the bustle of the streets. The garage itself was built at a time when the only cars in town belonged to the Royal Family. There are 22 splendid vehicles, including a seven-seat 1938 Cadillac complete with purdah (veil) system, the beautiful 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom used in the Bond film Octopussy, and the Cadillac convertible that whisked Queen Elizabeth II to the airport in 1961.

After viewing the collection you will enjoy a short city tour in one of the vintage cars.

After your tour ends you will be taken back to your Jodhpur hotel.
