Amilcar CGS — The Poor Man's Bugatti

Amilcar is a marque that is seldom talked about these days, but plays an important role in the development of motorsport, taking part in the first ever 24 Hours of Le Mans and winning the 1927 Monte Carlo Rally. Even with their racing success, the marque ceased production at the start of the Second World War and did not resume after the war. While the marque no longer exists, the CGS, one of the finest Amilcar models, remains an engaging and satisfying drive to this day.
