They shine in their own skin, the vintage cars from before the Second World War. Enthusiasts can indulge themselves in Kortrijk Xpo. There are about 150 here, from all over Europe. At that time, automobiles were marvels of technology and design. And that is still appealing.
The absolute eye-catcher of the fair is the Bugatti T35. Unbeatable in the interwar period, now worth a million euros in its original and good condition.
They are all cars from the pioneer days. The latest technology still had to prove its worth with gigantic challenges, such as the Beijing – Paris Rally in 1907. Now they still do that, albeit slightly less heroic.
