PESHAWAR: A three-day-long annual classic car show concluded here on Sunday, attracting a large number of vintage car drivers from across the country.

The Heritage Motoring Club of Pakistan at the Services Club organised the show, according to a statement issued here. The car show was followed by the participants’ visit to historical sites like the Ali Mardan Villa, Shahi Bagh, Sethi Haveli and Gor Khatri.

Fahad Bashir Bangash, a vintage car owner, told Dawn that holding of such shows should be encouraged at government level. “Holding of vintage car shows will convey a message of peace and tranquility to the world,” he added.

Mr Bangash said the vintage car shows would also promote tourism in Peshawar, the historic capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

By organising the vintage car rallies, the Heritage Motoring Club of Pakistan wants to promote the hobby among the enthusiasts both locally and internationally. The club hopes the government allows this hobby to grow by allowing classic cars’ imports and ensuring foreigners’ participation.
