To see such cars on an ordinary day, you need to visit some kind of vintage car museum, and not every exhibition has such a collection. The Capital Rally, which marked the beginning of the new season of the Russian Automobile Federation Classic Car Rally Cup, brought together notable examples of domestic and foreign production. You could look at the rarities at the start ceremony in Muzeon Park, at the finish line in Neskuchny Garden and simply on the streets of Moscow. And we have collected the most striking cars in our photo gallery.
