State transport department figures up to July 31, 2025, show Lucknow topping the chart with 86 vintage cars and bikes, followed by Prayagraj with 82. Varanasi, 35, and Kanpur, 31, come next, strengthening the old-world dominance. The passion is not just on paper; these cities even run vintage car clubs where aficionados swap stories of chrome, carburettors and classic curves.
