Despite achieving huge success and earning a chunk of money, Chorister has not had much to discuss about his cars. Like some of the other actors of the 1900s, he is not so fascinated with cars and hence owns very few such vehicles. For sophistication, he owns a vintage Mercedes vehicle from that time along with his Volvo sedan. He even carries a Hyundai SUV, and recently he was seen steering a Kia sedan, which is speculated to be his most modern car.
