7th "Concentration de Vehicles" Marcon France

[andrew e]

Thought I'd share this varied selection of beauties with you! A local car show put on by a village in Loire that featured everything from Veteran to Amphibous!

 

And the best bit? 2 euros entry for adults and food NOT put on by caterers, just the local WI or something, picked up some car styling mags for 3 euros each so I went away well chuffed too - folllow the link if your local next year, there was a British registered Testarossa and an E type floating about

Did all Fuegos TDs have "TURBO DIESEL" emblazoned on the back window?I imagine they were fairly nippy for an old diesel, even the naturally aspirated Renault 2.1 diesel is supposed to be quite good.Also, what on earth is the setup on the back of that Transit 'crewcab'?

[andrew e]

It was a 5th wheel Good Buddy 10-4 etc.

[Milford Cubicle]

Ooh, I thought it was just a box propped on the back.

[andrew e]

I tell you if Paul Gadd had walked through Heathrow next to that guy, nobody would have bat an eyelid

[Mr Lobster]

Within a hundred yards of each other!

WANT. A LOT. Thats just utterly gorgeous. I still need to own another R11. That one would be more or less perfect.

 

 

[anorak] BTW, The scene Pug is actually a Renault 4CV [/anorak]

[155V6]

The yellow Renault 8 is an 8S,looks like a Gordini but not as highly tuned.Still very nice though

[andrew e]

Im glad you picked up on my deliberate mistakes.

 

 

[chaseracer]

Any idears?

Amilcar?

Any guesses on the French Pilot Hommage? Or is it the other way round?

Great event - time to move to France again!

[michiel]

GSA Service - TRES BON !!!!

Abolutely stunning!! LOVE the 404 coupe- didn't even know such a thing existed!! No idea what the ancient blue thing is, but noticed in the rear view of it visible in the 404 pic that it has Ford Model A tail lights!

[fordnut]

That Renault 11 is nice, but the 404 coupe is something else! Never knew they existed either - wouldn't mind one of them beautiful looking car.There is another amphicar car in France on the Seine in Paris, I'm not sure how many were made but there can't be to many about.

That's a Renault 4CV. Never seen one on wires before though. Looks like a late Juvaquatre van next to it.

 

 

Wow. Can't remember the last time I saw a Peugeot 104 of the two-wheeled variety. Let alone two together. Had I been there I would have bought those.

 

Oh, and going on my experience of a turbo diesel Renault 18, that Fuego TD should go like f***.

Smart, why is it the only surviving British examples seem to have been bastardised beyond belief?
