Paris Retromobile 2017
« on: February 13, 2017, 08:54:10 »
Went to the Paris Retromobile event this past weekend.   Most of the usual vendors from past years were there (even though I had missed the event the past few years).

There were 4 or 5 Pagodas including one from Brabus, and one company had a 5-speed 230 that needed lots and lots of work.   

Here's a handful of photos:

Lovely shots Oz. One of the joys of living in Paris, the variety of interesting events is unbeatable!

I think the Bugattis are fantastic.  What is the red car with the exotic futuristic roof?   Looks XKEish.

As usual for these shows, they are not bashful when it comes to the tarif propose' on the pagodas.

Thanks for posting.

Ralph,

The red bubble glass car is an Alfa Romeo.  I think its a 1960 (ish) Superflow.   Not 100% sure about the model name but I recall seeing something like that on the placard.

BTW - nice work on your car for it's 48th anniversary.

Thanks Oz.
I googled the red Alfa.  - Alfa Romeo 8C 3000 CM Disco Volante Superflow IV Pininfarina Coupé - from 1960.  Amazing styling for a car from this era!
