Ashvek’s Vintage World was opened in 2004, and is a museum that exhibits vintage and classic cars and bikes. It’s the only one of its kind, and an absolute treat for automobile enthusiasts. A visit will bring you face to face with rare, unique classics, like the 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen (the world’s first production automobile) or the DKW Munga and 1936 Vidal G1200 Tempo (vintage military vehicles) and even the most popular Mercedes of all time, the 1939 Mercedes Benz 170V. When here, make sure you stop by to ogle at the beauty of the Volkswagen Beetle that has cartoons of Mario Miranda drawn on it.
