The next day I happened to encounter a copy of the LEGO Mini in real.
Seen on the Sainsbury's Supermarket car park.
The Mini was introduced in 1959 as Austin Seven or Morris Mini-Minor. She was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis.
This Mini is possible one of the very last Mini's ever being built.
After such a long history with many generations of Mini's in Oct. 2000 the last chapter was closed and the plant was shut down.
1275 cc.
Production Rover Mini: 1988-Oct. 2000.
Production Mini-Series: Aug. 1959-Oct. 2000.
Orignal British reg. number: Sept. 2000.
Number seen: 2.

On my way to another region I wanted to pay a visit to the Musée de l'automobile Henri Malartre just north of Lyon.
At the museum yard there was also settled a classic car restoration company: Le Baron Sellier. They are specialized in soft tops, upholstery and dashboard panels.
Inside the building I found this spectacular Bugatti.
But it's not a real vintage one but a very fine replica made by DeLaChapelle.
This car is equipped with a modern BMW engine and made under the latest European standards.
The original Bugatti Type 57 two-seater coupé decouvrable was baptized Atalante and was launched on the 1935 Salon de Paris.
It was designed by Jean Bugatti.
