ISLAMABAD: The Vintage and Classic Car Club of Pakistan (VCCCP) on Tuesday organised a show of cars participating in the Karachi to Khyber vintage car rally at the Serena Hotel, Dawn newspaper reported.

Some basic details(make,Year,Model)in the captions under every picture about the cars would have completed the story. Nice cars, nice pictures.

Nice turnout! The old Benz SE cabriolet and the gray Corvette t-tops especially caught my attention. Lots of expensive metal in one place! Well done organizers and collectors.
