The Mercedes-Benz Classic Car Rally (MBCCR), which has over the years, become part of Mumbai's winter tradition, will be held on Sunday, December 13 at the Taj Lands End, Bandra, Mumbai.
The MBCCR was first organised by Autocar India in association with Mercedes-Benz in 2014. A consistent and growing participation from owners of rare, impeccably maintained Mercedes-Benz cars has made the event not only one of India's premier classic car show but has also put it on the global classic car enthusiasts' map .
The 7th Edition of MBCCR, which will adhere to strict COVID-19 regulations and protocols, will see a spectacular line of cars, including every generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL, S-Class, and E-Class in almost every body style. These will be accompanied by several Mercedes-Benz convertibles made between 1950 and 1990, along with rare models such as the Nurburg and the 170V range.
