Description
From a fine Antwerp based collection, we offer these 3 unique French cars, each with a story to tell, all built between 1920 and 1925, which probably was the finest era in French motoring history.
The early 1920’s marked the rise of the French cyclecar and voiturette scene. People built their own cars, the well-to-do class participated in numerous upcoming Concours d’Elegances (Bois de Boulogne, Deauville, …) and meantime car manufacturers showed their skills through reliability and economy runs on the newly built circuits such as Montlhéry & Miramas (both opened in 1924) and Reims (in 1926).
From each movement, this collection offers a fine example.
Want to go back to the early 1920’s? This is your chance. Now for sale individually or as a lot.
