Dr. Ravi Prakash doesn’t see himself as a collector of cars.
He sees it as collecting heirlooms for future generations to cherish.
And it's a task he takes up with utmost passion, having restored many cars in his 45 years of collecting, often rescuing these historical monuments from being forever lost: from Indian Poet Kuvempu’s Studebaker Commander, Lord Mountbatten’s Sunbeam Talbot to Motilal Nehru’s 1928 Lancaster Straight 8, one of the 11 remaining in the world.
