The Salon des Véhicules Anciens is staged by the VaaP association each February on the exhibition/fairground just west of Périgueux.
This Classic Car event occupies the whole site, with selected cars on display in two large exhibition halls plus visitors’ classics allowed in and out of the grounds during the weekend.
Along the roadways and grass areas of the fairground an auto-jumble takes place selling car parts and automobile literature from stalls.
2019 is the 100th birthday of the Citroën marque and most models produced since its creation will be on a central display, surrounded by stalls with selected specialist companies with expertise in auto-restoration and supply of parts, remakes, tools and other automobilia.
Another exhibition hall hosts well over 100 cars from several dozen clubs and organizations from around Aquitaine and further afield.
A large block is specifically allocated for ‘British-cars and participants’ and for 2019, we look forward to showing ten more unusual British cars, some of which will have come from the UK for the event.
Classic-cars and motor-cycles of all types and ages are driven into the grounds over the course of Saturday or Sunday: entry is free for both the classic car and its driver, so about one thousand classics turned up to be admired by the public at each of the 2016-17-18 shows.
