Mumbai: Get ready to be a part of an exciting conference and master class organized by Osianama?s Vintage and Classic Automobile Club on 21 February 2015 at the Osianama. Osianama?s Arts Auto Cine and Cultural Centre at the iconic Liberty cinema in Mumbai was launched recently with the red carpet premiere of Baby, master classes by Anupam Kher and Neeraj Pandey and the launch of Osianama's Vintage and Classic Automobile Club with leading scholars, designers and professionals focusing on French and Italian Design and Coachbuilding.
FIVA (F?d?ration Internationale des V?hicules Anciens) is the international body that leads the vintage and classic car movement worldwide and FIVA president Patrick Rollet is visiting India to address the vintage and classic car collectors, enthusiasts, professionals and media about the global supremacy of Roll Royce in vintage and classic cars.
Coinciding with his visit, Osianama has also arranged an exhibition at the forecourt of the Osianama at Liberty Cinema to showcase the finest classic cars with a focus on the Rolls Royce with some very special luxury cars, which have been competitors, such as the Mercedes Benz, Invicta and Pierce Arrow amongst others.
In a written message, Rollet mentions about the tremendous opportunity in India for vintage and classic cars. According to him, such cars will not remain in the exclusive domain of India's former princes and the super-rich. In the last decade, vintage and classic cars have given maximum returns on the investments made on them globally. He also mentioned that India will soon be amongst the world leaders in this category given the interest shown by Indians in recent years.
There will be an interesting debate conducted amongst Andr? Blaize, who will be arguing for Rolls-Royce and Serge Cordey and Robert Cumberford, who will arguing against him and insisting that the French, the Germans and the Americans made technologically more advanced and better cars than Rolls-Royce.
While Blaize is an eminent world authority, who has devoted his entire life to building up the most extensive database of each and every Rolls-Royce manufactured till World War II, Cordey is the editor and publisher of the French edition of classic and sports car magazine and Cumberford is a legendary designer-writer and design critic.
Speaking about the event, Osianama founder and chairman Neville Tuli said, ?These Osianama events, will encourage a new daily Indian-International dialogue across all aspects of cultural civilization-building, so that India can step by step emerge as a creative force, more aware of its international role and a hub of research and the coming together of the finest minds to create the new institutional platforms essential to become a leader.?
