Dastan Auto World is a landmark destination in Ahmedabad, renowned for its extraordinary collection of some of the world’s oldest and most beautifully preserved vintage automobiles, each one a timeless masterpiece of automotive history.
The museum was founded by Shri Pranlal Bhogilal on his sprawling 2,200-acre estate. His lifelong passion for vintage cars led him to amass a remarkable collection of over 200 classic vehicles. In 1987, this passion earned him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for owning the largest private collection of vintage cars in the world.
Today, Dastan Auto World showcases more than 100 meticulously maintained classics that reflect the elegance, craftsmanship, and innovation of a bygone era. The collection includes rare and iconic models from prestigious marques such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lagonda, Maybach, Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, and Auburn. Among the museum’s highlights are the legendary 1923 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, the majestic 1927 Hispano Suiza H6C, and several rare Maybachs.
Visitors can stroll through the exhibits and discover royal limousines once owned by Indian maharajas, exquisite horse-drawn carriages, sleek sports cars, and charming wooden-bodied speedsters. Every vehicle tells a story. Many even bear names given by Mr. Bhogilal himself, such as Azad, Chamunda, Chetak, and Cleopatra.
Set amidst the lush greenery of the Dastan estate, the museum offers a serene escape from the bustle of city life. Its beautifully landscaped gardens, wide open spaces, and old-world ambiance create an inviting atmosphere for reflection and admiration. Whether you’re a passionate automobile enthusiast or someone who appreciates history and heritage, Dastan Auto World promises a truly unforgettable experience.
