Besides, some memorable cars across the world could also be found in this auction, for example, the 1936 Chrysler Airstream or a 1947 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith. 1969 Volkswagen Beetle and a Mercedes-Benz 170S – the most well-known classic cars of all time– are also on offer.

Among these names, the 1937 Morris 8 Sedan must be the most fascinating car on offer. What makes this car so special? This model was a huge success for Morris and helped the automaker to regain its number one position in the market back then. However, the car model itself is not a particular subject of interest but the fact that the car was once owned by Maqbool Fida Husain – the globally-famous Indian painter.

These cars are gathered from one private collector who put his/her on sale on Astaguru’s website.
Tushar Sethi, CEO, Astaguru said
“This was an inevitable progression move, considering the fact that our research deduced an eager demand for Vintage and Classic cars in India."
The price of these cars will be nothing but exorbitant. Most of the cars are of the same price that is offered all around the world, however, there are some models whose price goes a bit too far from the average level.
