The Epoqu'auto show in Lyon, France, has been organised since 1979 by 'Les Amateurs d'Automobiles Anciennes'. More than 900 exhibitors were present during the 2024 edition: Garages, restorers, spare parts specialists, craftsmen, miniature and toy dealers, magazines, and period clothing dealers. This year, the organizing team set a new visitor record: almost 109'000 persons. Epoqu'auto is surely becoming one of the best events in Europe for classic motor cars.
This edition See the pictures above for a nice sample of cars. On the banner, a 2005 Toyota Century with a 5-litre V12 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. Less than 10'000 pieces produced in ca. 50 years.
Then, we have several MG: a green 1933 MG L2 Magna (two-seater roadster, I6 engine), a red 1934 MG KN Magnette (four-seater tourer, KD I6 engine), a red 1948 MG Y (four-seater tourer, I4 engine), and a red 1953 MG TD Arnolt (designed by Bertone for Harold Arnolt)
Another MG got my attention. A green 1934 MG K3. I like the MG K3 very much, especially the 1933 form. The 1934 model, with the pointed tail, is also great, too. This car, K3026, was also exhibited at Retromobile 2024. Since the 1980s, this famous car has been registered in Switzerland.
And to finish, we have a bunch of Matra/René Bonnet Djet/Jet (at least seven were exibited), a quite rare Honda Beat, and a splendid R4.
