Alimos Classic Car Sunday


160 vintage and classic cars being exhibited by the sea front in our area, an event that's been organised by our wonderful mayor.  We missed this event last year, but were able to go this time. It was a good afternoon, and this is from someone who is really not interested in cars at all. The sea front was packed. I had not been in the middle of so many people since the pandemic started, and at times the sheer numbers did my head in. I also got really irritated by all these people who just had to pose for photographs in some cases in front of every single car.  I did nevertheless enjoy this very much.

I photographed just a fraction of what was on display, and yet this post is very long. Given the numbers of people it was difficult taking photographs and in most cases I only took one shot.
