2013 Retromobile report and 230-shot gallery ...
This week, the Porte de Versailles exhibition centre in Paris hosts the 38th annual Retromobile, which is arguably the premier in-door classic car show in the world. As such, it attracts enthusiasts from around the world. They were treated this year to great variety of machinery ranging from a quartet of very rare Lamberts, a full Citroen DS display, two early Benz racer resurrected and more recent racers like a Ferrari 250 TR and the 1990 Le Mans winning Jaguar XJR-12. Complementing Retromobile are two major auctions; Artcurial Motorcars on the show floor and Bonhams in the fantastic Grand Palais in the city centre.
Celebrating our tenth anniversary covering Retromobile, our photographers were in the chilly French capital to capture the event in its entirety. The result is this detailed report and three galleries with a total of 240 shots featuring Retromobile, and the Bonhams and Artcurial auctions separately.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
