Constantly coming and going, most just stayed for an hour, not so much crowded as it seams on the photo Most unarrested was a big group of young americans traveling the world again.... Lots of Mercedes Benz, of course, and lots of American 60- and 70-ies, this was my most favorite (from England, of course). Ciao, Marco Marco, before I scrolled down to look and see what "this", your favourite was, I guessed it would be another car. This one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EliTR6 Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Advance warning : lots of photos coming up We all squeezed into the TR and headed to the le touquet concours d'élégance, held at the end of the rallye historique that ran over the weekend. The town was overflowing with beautiful cars today. Highlights for me were the obvious ones I guess, the 250 lusso was drop dead gorgeous and the bugatti 57g tank and World breaking Rosalie recreation were amazing close-up. And I would have been very happy driving that lancia aurelia home! Edited September 5, 2021 by EliTR6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z320 Posted September 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Yes indeed! The owner told me it's an A40, not Austin bodied cabriolet, upper midclass at its time and much too expensive, LHD, re-imported from Canada, 1.8 liter powerfull engine for about 80-100 hp! He bought it currently in perfect condition for small money via his club connections. What a lucky guy?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly he is confused with the Jensen bodied A40, what he has is an A70 Hereford convertible coupe built by Carbodies of Coventry.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_A70 Stuart.
