A cold Salon Reims in pictures
It was a very cold morning as we drove to the most important city of the Champagne district in northern France, but it was not the tempting sparkling wine which was the main reason for our trip to Reims. Instead, it was the 35th Salon Champenois du Véhicule de Collection, or simply put, the Reims Autojumble, as most will know it.
While Beaulieu struggles with post-Brexit and post-Covid challenges, Reims is in a safer position and instead has challenges with the large number of visitors, which meant lots of queueing and crowded aisles.
The stalls definitely did not disappoint. The array of parts which had emerged from various garages was impressive, from brass lamps to fuel tanks and a large assortment of early motorbikes to an entire aeroplane for restoration. Taking place both indoors and outdoors, it had everything.
Our photographer found his way through the crowds and captured the atmosphere. Enjoy!

Hello friends of the French automobile.
The blue car is actually a Citroen Traction Avant 11BL legère (light) from 1938. It was re-bodied by the German coachbuilder Spohn around 1948. The owner was a captain of the French army: Monsieur Castor

Thank you for that - I've seen many other body modifications to Tractions but never one like that.

The blue car in picture 8 looks like a Traction Avant with some kind of custom body kit. It's a Traction engine for sure.
