I’ll let the photo do most of the talking. Just a brief introduction. These cars belonged to Fatima Jinnah and are now rotting at Sindh Archive offices in Clifton Karachi. Photo is taken from Trekearth.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

The cars in the photo above are part of our national heritage and national history therefore they need to be preserved.
On another note, Quaid-e-Azam Mohd. Ali Jinnah’s cars are very well preserved in the museum adjacent to his mausoleum. I visited it last time in 2005 and was very impressed. They are part of the National Heritage.
Faraz:
I agree with you. I think they should either just burn these cars or maybe throw them in the sea. Or maybe sell them to “raddi-walla.” After all, they are just friggin cars, whats the big deal about it???
regards.
They are just friggin cars. Get over it. Why spend money (if the country had any) on keeping these cars in good condition? Sorry, I don’t see the point.
It tells you alot. How do we treat our heroes. I happened to visit Graceland in Memphis, TN and was impressed how had they preserved cars, motorcycles and planes of Elvis. I agree with Cam’s comments.
