For those who have never been to India, it is without doubt, as one Maharajah I met there described it, “organised chaos”. But such beautiful organised chaos that anyone who gets the chance to experience it should jump at and grab with both hands.
In Delhi, a city now with a population of 28 million people, some 31 times more than when he designed it, Edward Lutyens’ (1869 -1944) India Gate is still a haven of calm and peace among the chaos. Here it was that the vehicles gathered together for the start of the 9th edition of the 21 Gun Salute International Vintage Car Rally & Concours d’Elegance, where I was lucky enough and honoured to be a member of the Jury and the Master of Ceremonies.
