Default "Excellence Automobile" : car exhibition

Yesterday there was an Automobile exhibition on the old "circuit de Reims" just 6-7 km from where I live : :arrow: http://www.weea-organisation.com/
Jean Alesi was there with a Mercedes W196 Streamliner (sorry for the poor quality of pics, I took them with my phone and I am not a pro) :



Some Lamborghinis :
Miura :

Gallardo Superleggera :

Countach :

it was my first Countach and it has amazing presence !! It doesn't seems big and is really a wonderful car in real !

Ferrari 275 LM :

Chrysler Thomas Special (nice in flesh) :

A rare french car, Citroen DS 21 Cabriolet :

I also made some filming but I am not sure of the result, I have to watch it and edit.

That Mercedes is for sure very nice but the Miura ...

The old circuit of Reims is for sure such an evocative location BTW!

The Miura sounded awesome and was a delight to see on the track

But the Mercedes sounded and smelt very special The onlt regret it that David Piper (owner of the 275 LM) didn't pushed it a lot and made only one lap
