The last weekend (March 29, 30, 31), was celebrated the 50 edition of the oldest and most important rallye of Spain, the rallye Barcelona-Sitges (Gran Premi Audi). And as you can see, even the Spanish spring has two faces.... Comes rain...(Barcelona)......, comes shine...(Sitges). A lot of participants from Spain and other countries like France, Belgium, GB, Germany, etc brought their interesting cars, from the age of 1900 to 1924 . Between those several rare cars made in Spain, which you are most unlikely to see anywhere else: like Abadal, or Salvador, or España and 17 (!) Hispano-Suiza (made in Barcelona). Most competitors were dressed with clothes of the age of the cars. (for photos of all the cars, see this web-gallery) About the Salvador runabout, it was a car made in Barcelona, with a Mag V-2 engine; It was made in a little numbers, about 10, and yet two of these cars 'live' (the other salvador can be viewed in the muestrama.fotopic.net page at the "Museo Salvador Claret"). (photos and text from - 19 years old(!) - Francisco Carrión Cárdenas )
