If you love cars, like really interested in these machines, this is one place you’ve got to visit.
A 15 minutes drive from the town of Siddapur in, “The Scotland of India”, Coorg is a coffee estate called Mubarak Estate owned by Mr Ahmed Kutty (second person from left along with my dad in the picture below) has a garage full of vintage cars!

Yes, you would be surprised to find cars like Tata Estate, HM Contessa and two wheelers like Rajdoot, Bajaj Sunny and Chetak. But would the fact that they are all out of production and have a few enthusiasts make them vintage? Well, if you ask me then yes! I don’t find them on roads and seeing them under one roof really excites me!

And then I find this! A nostalgic old banner of his (which has a young Mr Kutty with one of his proud possessions) that I remember passing by in Siddapur when his cars were kept for display free of cost. Now they charge Rs. 100 per person and another 100 for the camera, but totally worth it!
It was my love for cars that took me there but I’ve gotta admit that it is his passion and love for cars that made me fall in love with this place!
