A motor vehicle enthusiast Edwin Peter in Coimbatore has claimed that he owns the largest collection of vintage motorcycles and cars in India.

Nurturing a lifetime passion for vintage cars and bikes, Peter, a middle-aged man and mechanic now owns a wide variety of vintage cars and bikes dating from 1920-1960.

Being a mechanic, collecting these vehicles is not the most lucrative option for him, as all such vintage cars and bikes are in great demand all around the country, but Peter has no intention of selling his collection.

Restoration and maintenance of the vintage vehicles makes a hole in Peter’s pocket as he spends Rs. 40, 000. However this does not dampen his spirit and he continues to pursue his passion for vintage vehicles.
