As we said before, this year we saw the Tour de France again. This year's third stage of the Tour de France at Cholet was graced by a number of véhicules publicitaires de caravane ancienne, which followed the regular caravan of sponsor's vehicles. Most (if not all) of the vehicles belong to a man called Lionel Blanleil, who has been collecting and restoring them for over 30 years.
This first one is a mystery - the only refence online I can find

Wow! There’s some fantastic specimens there. Goes to show the great imagination put into the design of these vehicles.
The Midi Libre press bus would have made a great touring wagon.
For anywhere you want to go to at 60kmh...
Yup It would take you a while between gigs Simon...
