They had a section dedicated to 50 years of Jaguar which was obviously of interest to me , but that aside it was a show to make you feel proud to be British as it was full of classic British Sportscars.
There were lots of French clubs supporting British Marques and that was quite a surprise for a French show.
The place was full of E types, MGs, Austin healeys, Fords and others. Also a really good display of vintage and modern motorcycles.

the French z club had a stand displaying a pair of 240z and a stunning 280zx, I liked it so much it made me want one (but probably just that one) A good show to attend for anyone restoring an old car as the show was dominated by trade stands selling anything and everything, probably more trade stands than cars.

the lighting was fairly poor and so the piccys turned out a bit dark, you cant be daylight for good pics. :yes:

Heres some pics from the Datsun z club France.com stand with the 240s and the 280

Thanks - the 280 really needs a black or even red steering wheel don't you think ?

matter of the owners personal choice but would agree if it was my mine I would agree with you

Wow nice collection of old Z's. I have a soft spot for the 280 as my Mum drove one. Datsun Z Club looks like they organize a nice stand.
Didn't know France had multiple Z clubs, a rival of yours Sean?
