Les Club des Voitures Anciennes de Beauce a Boullay-Thierry

Boullay-Thierry is a pretty little village in La Beauce the wheat growing region of France of which Chartres is the only major city. It is worth a detour to see their interesting church - L'eglise Saint Lubin and the Chateau next door.   Every year the commune holds a regional products and artisanal products fair with a number of other attractions to get in the paying customers.  This year on the Sunday afternoon 7th September the club des Voitures Anciennes de Beauce were there as part of one of their rallyes.  The club is based in Chartres and has a nice website - vab chartres website.  They had a nice variety of just over 30 vehicles on show in a lovely location amongst the trees, a few of which are seen below.

Lovely Marcos sports car in the shade of the trees

An open topped Citroen creates particular interest

Interesting old Renault

A French marque I thought I had never come across before - but RNUR is another name for Renault

Peugeot 203, Mini and Triumph Spitfire

This MGB had a beautiful interior

Being in La Beauce we had to have a vintage SFV tractor made in Vierzon pull up in front of the Chateau….

….whilst behind this old Massey-Harris tractor you can see the interesting church tower of Boullay-Thierry

I had to show these tractors as they had kindly pulled over to let us pass earlier in the day!

There must have been a competition to see how many you could squeeze into this vrai tacot.

All in all a lovely collection of collectables cars including this Renault Primaquatre
