KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 27 (Bernama) -- Syed Ibrahim Al-Sagoff, a proud owner of a 1966 Dodge Dart 270 convertible 2.8 litre car, does not mind to forking out nearly RM50,000 just to modify the car including its interior design.

The former aviation engineer designer said the car had high sentimental value to him and his family as he inherited it from his late grandfather who died in 1984.

"Although many people have come to me and offered to buy this car at a high price, I keep on rejecting them because my passion for vintage cars is very strong," he told Bernama when met at the Royal Selangor Club's (RSC) annual motorsports carnival and charity drive at Dataran Merdeka, here Sunday.

The event was launched Automobile Association of Malaysia (AAM) president Tunku Mudzaffar Tunku Mustafa.

More than 80 vintage, classic and exotic cars as well as superbikes were displayed at the annual event organised by the RSC.

Prior to the launching, 15 ultra-modern or fast cars, including Lamborghinis and Ferraris and 15 superbikes were also paraded up to the Sungai Besi Camp where the organiser also brought along 100 children from four selected shelter homes.

The event, which entered its fifth year, was also supported by several non profit organisations from around the Klang Valley.

At the event, Tunku Mudzaffar also handed over contribution of RM2,500 each to four shelter homes.

Trophies and certificates will be awarded to the winners of the vintage, classic and modern categories segment at a dinner at RSC tonight.
