Prewar Days 2024: Celebrating 100 years of the Bugatti Type 35 and cyclecars
Press release
Kortrijk Xpo in Belgium will once again host Prewar Days, the premier international classic car fair, which will take place from Friday, 6th December, to Sunday, 8th December, 2024. Since its inception in 2019, this unique event has become the definitive end-of-season gathering for enthusiasts of pre-war vehicles. This year’s event is dedicated to a very special anniversary: the centenary of the Bugatti Type 35, one of the most successful and admired pre-war Grand Prix cars, alongside the much-loved cyclecars.
With over sixty exhibitors from eight different countries and an impressive collection of more than a hundred and fifty vehicles, Prewar Days is a paradise for any classic car enthusiast. Spanning an area of over 65,000 sq. ft., visitors can not only admire the beautifully restored cars but also explore various stands featuring books, parts, documentation, and vintage automobilia.
A Look Back at Previous Shows
Previous years have introduced visitors to rare pre-war vehicles, such as the 1904 Darracq 12hp made famous by the film Genevieve. Other notable models, including a Lincoln with a V12 engine, have also been showcased. This the event's continuing appeal, with surprising and rare vehicles stealing the spotlight year after year.
The Central Theme: Bugatti Type 35 and Cyclecars
This year, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Bugatti Type 35, a car renowned not only for its design but, more importantly, for its performance on the racing circuits. With its lightweight construction, innovative engineering and unmistakeable beauty, the Type 35 became the most successful racing car of its time. With over a thousand victories to its name, this Bugatti occupies a well-deserved seat in the pantheon of automotive greats. The exhibition will also feature a special display of cyclecars—compact, often hand-built vehicles that were popular in the early twentieth century due to their accessibility and sporting character.
