Riding in Jinnah Rolls-Royce on 75th Pakistan Independence Day

Jinnah Rolls Royce leads Classic Car Rally on 75th Pakistan Independence Day 14 Aug 2022

An epic classic car rally – I join the “Freedom Drive” – a line-up of dozens of stunning classic cars, including the actual Rolls-Royce that took MA Jinnah (Quaid-E-Azam) and Lord Mountbatten to the signing of the Declaration of Independence of Pakistan on 14th August 1947 – 75 years ago. I ride in it ahead of the parade from Frere House to Nishan-E-Pakistan in Karachi, on 14 August 2022. What an incredible privilege and honour!

Funny VLOG by Daughter [while filming the Toyota Aygo X]
