The cars were moved from Mohatta Palace in 1990s for want of repairs. The repairs, however, never took place and the two vehicles are now lying in a ‘derelict’ condition in the premises of the archives department building at Clifton. The cars are granted tight security – no one is allowed to see them as the department officials have issued serious orders to the lower staff to keep them away from prying eyes. But this has not stopped opportunists from stealing the engine, tyres and other mechanical parts, leaving the skeleton of the vehicles behind. “One is Mercedes and the other is a Cadillac. Both have been damaged because of the negligence of the archives department,†said Qasim. (the director of the archaeology department) “The plan was to restore the cars and put them on display in a museum, but the automobile engineers had demanded over Rs20 million. The culture department had no funds at the time.â€
