All the cars in the rally were from Assam itself, owned by people living there. Anand Sharaf, the treasurer of the HAAA, said that the organisation had to arrange for spare parts to maintain these cars as they were no longer available. He said their goal in doing so is to ensure that these cars are preserved and non-availability of parts doesn’t make the owners get rid of the automobiles.
