Pagoda in Nice
« on: April 28, 2016, 17:02:38 »
I spotted a white Pagoda driving along the Promenade des Anglais in Nice heading East this morning in a long line of classic cars that included several 190's and a number of Alfa's. I am not sure where they were coming from or going to? I asked a woman in the tourist office in Vence and she said there had been a race of classic cars from Paris to Nice, so this could have been a part of that group on a tour of the coastal road heading toward Monaco.
Any other thoughts?

Just might be "Les Routes du Soleil" Mediterranean Rally that started today in Nice and will go through Italy for a week and return to Nice on the 8th of May.

I read the document you sent the link to and that does sound like it was just what I saw. I wonder if the Pagoda in the group was a member?

Good chance it belonged to the classic car hire company who are based 50m back from the promenade. Pagoda hire is about £275 a day. I hired their 190SL a few years ago. It's the ultimate place to enjoy a drive in these cars, along the coast and round Monaco!
