The Grandeur of the Mewar Royal Car Collection

The Vintage & Classic Car Collection in Udaipur is a unique museum housed within the former Mewar State Motor Garage. This curated exhibition showcases the private collection of the Maharanas of Udaipur, featuring rare vehicles that are still in perfect working condition. Visitors can marvel at the 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II used in the James Bond film 'Octopussy,' along with several grand Cadillacs, vintage Mercedes-Benz models, and rare 1930s Buicks. The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of Indian royalty and the evolution of automotive engineering in the early 20th century. Most tours combine this visit with the City Palace and Lake Pichola, offering a comprehensive look at Udaipur's regal heritage.
