The Thakores with Lal Pari
Vintage wheels got rollin’ on Tuesday on an adventure of a lifetime for an Ahmedabad family. Three generations of the Thakore family are in a bid to travel 12,000 km in their trusty steed: a vintage car called ‘Lal Pari’ or ‘Red Angel’ in English. The Lal Pari is a 1950 MG vintage car and is set for a road trip traversing 16 countries from India to London. The aim is to cover 200-250 km per day. The expedition began from Ahmedabad, starting with a visit to the Statue of Unity, the world’s tallest statue. The Thakores drove into Mumbai, after that. There is a symbolic flag off in the city, and the car is then shipped to Dubai, and the adventure begins from Dubai after the team flies there. The journey will encompass road travel in several countries, including the UAE, Iran, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, and France, and culminate in the United Kingdom.
The flag-off will take place from Mumbai today (Tuesday) evening by Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Minister of Tourism, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, at the Western India Automobile Association (WIAA) in the Indian Merchants Chamber (IMC) building, Churchgate.
