More than 120 classic Peugeots gathered on Britain's south coast for the annual International Peugeot Meeting, with this year's theme being 'Best of British'.
All of the car's owners belong to l'Aventure Peugeot, the French firm's club and heritage arm, and travelled from as far afield as Austria, Luxembourg and Italy to attend the event. After meeting in Southampton, the group drove through the New Forest to the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, where they displayed their classics to the public while enjoying a picnic in the grounds.
Among the classics on show was a 1922 Peugeot Type 173S. Its owner, Christian Bottero, said: "This is a unique model with roadster bodywork by a coachbuilder in Marseille. Even so, I still do around 500 miles a year in it. It would be impossible to restore if it got damaged, but I like driving it because it puts a smile on people's faces."
Meanwhile, 80-year-old Piet Kostelijk travelled from Amsterdam in his 1934 601 Roadster. "Only 109 of the 601 Roadsters were built and there are just five left in the world," he said. "When I got mine 17 years ago, it wasn't a runner. But this was always my dream car so there was never any question of whether I would get it working again."
