Vintage car event sees big response

For the third year in a row, Bund Classic－a premium collection and exhibition of vintage and classic cars－returned to Shanghai's iconic landmark, No 1 Waitaiyuan, from Oct 16-18. Founded by China Rendez-Vous, the event this year saw a fleet of more than 20 vintage cars polished and parked in the lush garden of the former British consulate. The highlights included a 1921 Rolls Royce Phantom and a Classic Auburn made in 1935. The three-day event, which had concerts, afternoon tea parties and a vintage car parade, attracted more than 11,000 visitors.
