The Mercedes classic car rally in Mumbai returns on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November 2026, and the public can attend for the second year running. According to Autocar India, about 80 to 90 cars will be shown on the lawns of Taj Lands End in Bandra. If you like design and heritage, this is an easy weekend plan.
Quick answer
- Dates: Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November 2026.
- Venue: lawns of Taj Lands End, Bandra, Mumbai.
- Saturday public display: limited tickets, gates open at 11 am, from Rs 749 on the ticketing page.
- Sunday: parade from Bandra, with the 9:30 am flag-off at Bandstand.

Saturday: the display on the lawns
On Saturday the cars are parked for visitors to walk around. Autocar India lists a 1934 500K, a 1955 300SC and a 1963 600 Grosser among them. It also mentions an early G-Wagen convertible, a new Maybach SL and the SLS gullwing.
The ticketing page adds that a rare 300SC, of which only 49 were made, is a highlight. It also names a Pebble Beach Concours winning 630K. So the display covers nearly a century of design, not only one era.
Tickets and practical details
A limited number of Saturday tickets are on sale through the district.in ticketing page, which lists them from Rs 749. The page says gates open at 11:00 am and that children below 12 do not need a ticket. However, the lawn has standing room only and no seating.
The same page notes that parking, food and drinks are not available at the venue. Outside food and alcohol are restricted, and medical support is limited to first aid. It also states that the venue has no wheelchair accessibility, which is worth knowing before you plan the visit. The listing names Autocar India as the organiser.
Sunday: the Mumbai classic car rally parade
On Sunday the cars leave the hotel for a parade along the sea. The route goes from Taj Lands End to the Bandra Reclamation Promenade. Then it follows the Bandra Worli Sea Link and the Coastal Road to Marine Drive and Nariman Point, before returning to Bandra.
The published timetable puts the flag-off at Bandstand in Bandra at 9:30 am. The Reclamation Promenade follows at 9:35 am, the sea link approach at 9:40 am and the Coastal Road at Worli at 9:45 am. Marine Drive is listed at 9:55 am, with the Nariman Point U-turn at 10:00 am. Also note that Autocar’s text mentions a turn at Marine Drive, so the exact turning point may vary.
How to plan the weekend
For a quieter look at the cars, Saturday is the better choice because you can stand close. Sunday suits you if you prefer to watch them move along the promenade. Because traffic and closures are possible, arrive early and check the organiser’s updates.
If your weekend is design led, you can pair it with Art Mumbai 2026 or the AD Design Show, both held in the city this month.
