As per news report of NDTV,A Delhi man recently took to X to express his frustration after being forced to label his father's 16-year-old, well-maintained Mercedes as "vintage scrap". In the post, the user, who goes by the name Rattan Dhillon, shared how the car, a Mercedes-Benz E280 V6, still runs perfectly. He claimed that the 16-year-old vehicle is cleaner than most of the "so-called modern cars", emits zero pollution and can still go from 0-100 in just 6-7 seconds. However, Mr Dhillon said that, sadly, he has to label his car a "vintage scrap" due to the government's newly enforced "end of life" (EoL) vehicle policy in the national capital.
