Although the Nehru Science centre does not have other classic or vintage cars as a part of its regular display, the centre does have some stunning examples of classic trains and commercial vehicles on its vast campus. The Nehru Science Centre also has an old fighter jet that is usually a magnet to both children and the young at heart alike.
