A 54-year-old Premier Limited car has become the first vintage vehicle to be registered under the amended Central Motor Vehicles (CMV) Rules in Odisha.

The vehicle was registered at nearly the same amount at which it was purchased — Rs 20,000 — in 1968, giving a validity of 10 years, with the ownership, transferred to Padmalaya Praharaj. The vintage car was earlier registered as ORP-2456 at Puri RTO on November 18, 1968, sources said.
