MG EX234 prototype

A Visit to Cassel’s Classic Cars

May 23, 2022 By pete

Many Bugattis were present. Very interesting was this Bugatti Type 30 bodied as a ‘Torpedo ponté’ by Parisian coachbuilder Lavocat & Marsaud.

Story and Photos by Hugues Vanhoolandt

Cassel, a small town in the North of France, is not only a typical village in Flanders but also home of the Galerie des Damiers (the checkerboard gallery) founded and run for decades by well-known dealer Christophe Pund, who has no equal in unearthing automotive rarities.

Every two years, on the first of May, Mr Pund receives his car enthusiast friends for a good-natured picnic with, of course, the theme of old cars.
