We didn't go to Manresa ourselves this time. Too busy. We did have the Germans and their schmitts visit us on monday and stayed here a day. They were driving two Tigers and three KR's.  We had a great time.                        Nick.

Great stuff, there's a few oddities in the batch, decided these are my favorites, have no idea what they are though.

I'm fairly certain the red car with white hardtop is a Biscuter 200F "Pegasine"

Dear Bob

Well spotted the early photographs on Facebook. There were some great cars there. The pale green car is a Kapi 350, and the brown van is a Mymsa both from the Claudi Roca collection, and the red and white one is a Biscuter Pegasin from the Jaume Jubert collection. Also there, but out of the rain was a Kapi Chiqui and the MT owned by Claudi Roca. Norbert was there with his Zundapp. There was a lovely Clua 500 owned by Llorenc Farre and a Velam Ecrin owned by Jacques Deperrier. Lots of Biscuters, PTV and Fiats as well as schmitts.

A very well organised international rally with people from about 9 countries and everything done in 4 or 5 languages. The police outriders were great. It was just a pleasure to attend. Shame about the rain.
