La voiture en rose

During his summer holiday Laurens Klein stranded at one of the many great wine events in the south of France. This particular one was the  'Fête de rosé ' in Ste. Cécile les Vignes.
The athmosphere was just brilliant. The theme was 'La vie en rose' (with a wink to Edith Piaf's  La vie en Rose)  and we had the chance to taste all the newest rose-wines from the area.
It is a way for a local winemaker to market their rosé. As we saw before at PostWarClassic.com, a good way is by using your classic like an 'old' vending truck. One winemaker had the same idea and so we spotted this fine example. From a distance we had the idea it was a pre-war but when were getting closer (you can understand that we became more interested) we found out it was a Fleur de Lys. The UK-based car builder that started in 1983 making use of the Ford Transit platform and engines. Much newer than our first thought.
The name sounds French, espcially when it is used in this way. And altough it is new, we still liked it a lot. The type of cargo helped of course a lot for our understanding.

We are also curious what classic cars you've seen in your holidays. Send us your pictures to [email protected] and let us know!
