New Delhi, February 14
A Ford 1930 model car of the Border Security Force (BSF) will participate in the 37th Statesman Vintage Car Rally, to be flagged off from New Delhi on February 16.

The maroon car has a 14-horse power, four-cylinder in-line engine, which runs at an average speed of 35km per hour and consumes only one litre of petrol for every four kilometres.

Last year, the car was driven by Brig B K Khanna, deputy director, BSF Academy, Tekanpur and Mr Mahabir Prasad, officer commanding, CSMT, BSF, Tekanpur. The same duo will drive the car this year too. The car was acquired by the erstwhile Provincial Government of Madhya Bharat in 1930. The car was used by the then British governor of the province and on attaining independence, by the State police chief.

Besides the erstwhile British governors of the province, many British Viceroys, including Lord Wavell and Lord Louis Mountbatten, and Mahatma Gandhi and Dr Rajendra Prasad, travelled by the car between 1933 and 1935.

It was last officially used by K F Rustamji, when he was the police chief of Madhya Pradesh. In 1965, it was given to the Central School of Motor Transport at Sagar, for training purposes.

When the BSF took over the Central School of Motor Transport from the Madhya Pradesh Police, the car came to the BSF as a gift.
