We departed from Devpur at the break of dawn, and our gracious hosts thoughtfully prepared breakfast for our journey. With a lengthy drive ahead of us, we had planned three essential stops: Gondal, Junagadh, and Somnath, all leading us to our ultimate destination for the day—Diu.
Our inaugural halt brought us to the illustrious Orchard Palace in Gondal, where we arrived a little after 10 am. The primary reason for choosing this destination was simple and succinct: a shrine to automotive beauty, the Glorious Vintage Cars. This gem of a find was introduced to us by my wife's aunt, who knew of my profound affinity for automobiles and insisted that we make it a point to visit.
Our initial focus wasn't solely on the Palace itself but directed toward the Gondal Royal Vintage and Classic Car Collection Museum nestled within the palace grounds. What transpired next is meticulously documented below for your perusal.
I've taken note of the car names accompanied by placards or those within my knowledge. For the rest, I humbly defer to the expertise of others to provide insight.
