Gallardon - Les Ateliers des Pionniers à Ciel Ouvert 2016

A 1928 Sandford 3-wheeler making a demo run up the 400 metre course outside the old station at Gallardon.  These sporting 3 wheelers were made by an Englishman Stuart Sandford in Paris.

As I was feeling distinctly under the weather I only spent 25 minutes at this lovely little event in Gallardon nearby where I live.   There were demo runs, old cars and motorbikes on show, a "Vide Garage" and of course the museum itself.  A few pictures below of these pre-1960 vehicles:

A Bugatti goes out for a demo run.

An old Triumph motorbike starts up the course.
