Intro

Back on line with a little delay on the usual release dates, but a rich content. The exhibitions of the month are particularly varied, between the Bugatti exclusivity at Autoworld Brussels, curiosity and rarity with Tatra at the Savoy Museum, the tributes to the Automobile Club de France by the FFVE, the forgotten Ernest Ballot in Angoulême, the Hotchkiss brand with an exceptional Tour de France, and the 100 years of MG in photos in Beaulieu.
