A state police head cannot be taken for a ride easily, but at the Chennai Heritage Auto Show, 2022, on Saturday, C Sylendra Babu made it a reality, riding in the Benz Patent Motorw agen,1886, the world’s first automobile propelled by an internal combustion engine. “It kindled my curiosity. I have always been fascinated by antique automobiles. It is interesting to know how people would have moved in these vehicles, its mechanism,” said the director general of police. Other visitors to the show were also enthralled, walking past more than 80 vintage cars and 25 bikes gleaming in the sun. Welcoming them was a red Vauxall Victor 1961 on the left, a black Jaguar 1954 on the right and a Austin 16/4 from 1946 right ahead.
