At the Vintage Car drive, people will also be able to click selfies with the cars and take photos of the cars from some vantage points.

Using the hashtag VintageforLife, they can upload the pictures on Instagram and a jury will judge them and they can win i-Pads as prizes.

The official said that this is the first of such event being held and next month, the department will be hosting a cycling ride in partnership with the German and Dutch Embassies.
