Default Retromobile, a classic car show in Paris
I just came back from Paris and the fantastic Retromobile show. This carshow is especially made for collectibles cars and oldies legends.
This year, the best of show is a part of the Nick Mason collection. Some clubs and classic dealers exposed well known models too. A must see.











To be continued!

/\/\ Amazing and rare cars! :shock:

Great capturing pics!

I believe the 250 GTO is of Nick Mason, I have a book in which all his cars are featured and reviewed, Love that book, he's got an awesome collection!

The 250 GTO and MCLaren are Nick Mason's cars. He has a massive collection of sports and race cars. He's written 2 books about his car collection. (At the limit and Into the red) I have both of them, the 2 books are almost the same, but In to the red comes with a cd with all the car sounds on.
Cars covered in Into the red: Panhard B1, Bugatti T35B, Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, Aston Martin Ulster, ERA B-type, Fraze Nash Le Mans rep, BRM V16 Mk2, Jaguar D-type, Maserati 250F, Maserati T61, Lotus 18, Ferrari 250 GTO, Ferrari 512S, Ferrari 365GTB/4 Daytona comp., Porsche 935 K3, Ferrari 312T3, Ferrari 512BBLM, Lola T297, Tyrell 011, Ferrari F40, Porsche 962.
The book is from 1999, he's bought a MCLaren and Enzo since then. Years ago I had the honour of standing next to Nick Mason and his 250GTO at the Ferrari days in Spa. I got his autograph and gave it to my father for his birthday, he's a big Pink Floyd fan. He's a very friendly guy.

What a superb motorshow held there; it could be perhaps even more interesting than the popular Paris Motorshow held in autumn once within two years although Ive been in the event through a weekend and actually I enjoyed it

However, what a shame that it doesnt have the rallying cars or the touring car in the exhibition as far as I know; I actually am more interested in rallying history rather than the racetrack one

Thanks yo_spc for those great vintage cars pictures.

It's sad the Christie's Auto Union Typ D was missing from this exposure at the last minute.
