The Roaring Season

One of one built. Cute little French Alart.

How about some Ferraris? I'm a sucker for old Ferraris.

Obviously the museum has added more cars since the Schlumpf's fled in the 1970s. Here are two examples.

You know its an overwhelming experience when you walk past an Aston Martin Lagonda and barely give it a second glance!

It has to be said not all Bugatti's are things of beauty. The Type 46 is actually a little awkward.

Great stuff Steve. Just when I thought I'd knocked most things off my bucket list, you come up with another item!

Something odd about that type 46 Bugatti. Rebodied perhaps?

Glad you're enjoying them Ray. The crazy thing is, I haven't even go to the good bits yet!

I don't know what the background is behind that particular Type 46. Some of the coach building was farmed out. I don't know if there is another like it.

This Type 35B was displayed with its rear facing the audience. I can see why. Its a great looking rear.

Of course, a Bugatti Veyron is an important modern addition to this collection.

Rhys, my copy of the book arrived a few days ago. I've not found your name in it yet, or anyone elses. Thats good news I guess?

To one side of the museum is a large section dedicated to racing cars. The first race cars I passed were rally cars from the Group B era.
