- You could easily call the Festival of Slowth the Festival of the Bizarre. An event for slow, or underpowered, or underengineered, strange, bizarre, but unanimously utterly interesting machines. Organised by the great Vintage Revival Monthléry team, it was an amazing weekend on quiet roads around Nevers, France. To name some of the participating contraptions: Leyat Helica, Villard, Mochet, Salomon, Monotrace threewheeler, Grafton, Withworth, Cyclauto Anzani, Deguingand Violet, Rusty Nail Briggs and Stratton, Mathis, Britannia, Benjamin, Rollo, GN, Bramble, Mills Busy Bee, Morgan, AC Sociable, Hanomag, Sima Violet, Lättviktsbilen Ideal, MV Bambina, De Marçay, Condor, Monet et Goyon, Socovel electric motorcycle, ... and of course Bédélia, but I'm probably forgetting a few... Impossible to forget is the amazing 1896 Salvesen steamer from Duncan Pittaway.
Fabulous! The epitome of the spirit of vintage motoring. Fun, crazy, exhilirating! I wish I had been there!
Man.. this is funtasic! The Brits really know how to have fun😎👍😍
@ 13:52 I adore the flintstone mobile , this is so precious , I love it
Glorious Contraptions! thanks
I missed my calling no doubt. I love these and will probably build one after the Boat Tail Speedster I am building on my channel is done. Thank you for posting this wonderful video.
Génial ! Des pièces de musée rares...sur route ! J'adore. Et le clin d'oeil rigolo avec des équipes sympa ! Chapeau !
Thank you for this nice footage, it was a great event!

Madness and fun. Never knew this event existed. Based on the old cyclocars. Some if not all are original.
As always excellently produced and what tremendous fun !!
Regards Robert
More smiles per miles than any modern car 👍🇦🇺
that looked like great fun....thanks for sharing 👍
Wonderful!
wonderful!! greetings from North Carolina
Mark Walker’s Belt drive is my favourite
So much like the ' Wacky Races' the propeller car like Prof Pat Pending..
What a fabulous film and thank you so much for sharing . My cheeks are aching from smiling so much ! How and where do we get to join in with this ?
Stunning , thankyou
Isn't it what motoring is all about ? Thanks for such another demonstration. By the way, this well hidden Hanomag 2/10 Rennwagen is a real sensation !
It is so nice to see such an event without BMW-wankers. Thanks for this Video!
New subscriber!! Super cool video!! I have been assembling a machine shop to support my UA-cam channel that I will be starting with the build of a 1928 Morgan RIP GN special 3 wheeler with 4 wheels. I am using an experimental aircraft opposed twin supercharged engine. This will be mated to an MG 4 speed manual gearbox with a 2 piece hand cast aluminum adapter. This will be connected to an MG differential with beautiful wire wheels. The frame I stood over steel and will have aircraft cloth stretched over and sprayed with plasticizer. This will have a boat tail look and is essentially a 20's airplane without a propeller or wings. There is only one other in existence and Charlie Martin races it in the UK. The next project lined up is the building of a Brooklands style cycle car similar to the Pembleton. This will have a BMW R-100 engine in the front and four wheels with gorgeous leather interior and even space for luggage. I look forward to seeing everyone over at the channel when it gets warm out enough to be in the barn in Pennsylvania .....
I bet they got 200 miles per gallon.
it's 2000 smiles
What an incredible array! Thanks so much
For some peculiar reason, I keep expecting Terry Thomas to appear in the video & shout, "COURTNEY!
Can anyone please explain why?
Those magnificent men in their flying machines, Terry Thomas played a bounder called sir Percy and his manservant played by Eric Sykes was Courtney and was set in the same time period as these cars.

Well vidded.
Thanks.
My goodness, these environmental machines need to be banned
If this happens in 2024, count me in. We would drive there in my 1948 Land Rover sans top!
Having so much fun. What a diverse lot. Simply fantastic.
I would love to see this up close, what a fantastic event.
I could feel the heat when Duncan opened the firebox door to that contraption!! I was so surprised to see the Tennessee license plate on the airplane/car thing. Thank you so much for taking the time to film everything. I hope I will be able to make it to one of the next ones and take my project car to drive on those beautiful English Country Roads.
This was awesome. Thanks for posting.
i keep coming back and watching this again and again
me too!
