Paris Multi-Marque Drive July 2013
« on: July 28, 2013, 16:46:58 »
Today there was a Multi-Marque drive through Paris arranged by "Vincenne en Ancienne" which is a club for all classic car marks.  I happened to see them driving through Paris today and followed the line of cars for a few of kilometers to their destination in Meudon ( a park area just on the edge of Paris).  There must have been over 300 cars in this event and clearly quite a variety.  There were two Pagodas participating and I was able to chat with one of the owners (the other owner was too invested in his "French Sunday Lunch" and I know better than to ever interrupt this ritual).  The owner of the red 230sl  bought the car in Switzerland quite recently and he believes he's the 3rd owner.  The car has a 250 engine and looks pretty nice.  He was not aware of any Pagoda specific clubs and only belongs to the Multi-Marque club.  Of course I explained to him about this forum, but seriously doubt he will join as he does not speak English.  

Some photos for your viewing ...

Great idea for socializing outside usual club borders. And indeed, the Meudon park is a great venue for such events. I noticed that 2CV with is "adds-on", which is a must at any French car event ;D. Thanks for sharing with us.
