Furthermore, PakWheels.com paid tribute to two legendary bike riders Jahanzeb Khan and Farid Dogar who lost their lives earlier this year.
The highlight of the event was Rolls Royce 1924 Silver Ghost. It was given to Quaid-e-Azam on 14 August 1947 by Nawab of Bahawalpur for his oath-taking ceremony and the signing of independence treaty. Quaid-e-Azam along with Lord Mountbatten rode this car to reach the oath-taking ceremony.

He purchased it in 2004 and completely restored it to its former glory. It took 1 and half year to restore the car to its present condition.
