The sprawling farmhouse in Mehrauli is just an hour’s ride from the heart of the capital. The pebbled driveway leads to a shed - which opens into another time zone and a treasure trove showcasing at least 70 years of automotive history.
Welcome to Pro Bono Publico, one of the country’s few vintage and classic vehicle museums, home to more than 70 old cars, which made international news recently when one of the cars, a Cadillac Coup de Ville - series 62 - manufactured in 1952, won the prestigious Cartier ‘Travel with Style’ Concours d’Elegance award in November.
It is owned by Delhi-based automobile collector and lawyer Diljeet Titus, the general secretary of the Heritage Motoring Club of India (HMCI).
The cars in his museum include a series of vintage Buicks, Cadillacs, Chevrolets, Austins, Mercedes, Jaguar, an ancient Dodge, Pacards, a vintage Studebaker, an Alpha Romeo, a Pierce Arrow and a rare Belgian Minerva.
