Gathering and start of the rally, Saturdaymorning

On the road, Saturday

The Saturday rally ended at the Volante museum, near Freiburg in Germany

The museum is in Kirchzarten, and specializes on automobiles with bodies by VanVooren, including one Bugatti T57. It also has a very nice, unrestored T35A. For more info visit the website: www.museum-volante.de

Pictures on the parking lot, and inside the museum.

At the end of the Saturday, there was an additional event at the "Chartreuse"

Here were a couple of special exhibitions:

A Type 57S Roadster Jean Replica.


A few other exhibits

Type 53 chassis.

T50B #3 engine (identical to the aero-engines).

An exhibition of Jean Bugatti sculptures.

A couple of sculptures of the Bugatti family by Paul Spindler.

The regular exhibition of the "Fondation Bugatti", which is always housed in the "Chartreuse".

One very sketchy drawing on the wall. I could not figure out what it was. Does anybody know??

Some special items on display: car parts, but also other items like medical instruments, tools, locks and even a lockable (with key) belt buckle!

Mondaymorning in Dorlisheim and the ceremony at the cemetary
