Retromobile 2003

2003 was our fourth appearance at the Paris Retromobile show and our first as guests of the French Bugatti Club...

Many thanks to all at the club for their precious support and collaboration, with a special mention for Jean-Louis and Martine Arbey, Hervé Ogliastro, Patrick Arnaud, Xavier Bouchenot, Jean Yot, Philippe Jaillon, Jacques Thurel & Alfred Wurmser. Thanks also to the many members and friends of CBF who expressed their encouragement and compliments. It was a pleasure as ever to catch up with acquaintences old and new from as far afield as Japan and Argentina, to our clients and friends from the US who cross the Atlantic "en-masse" every year for the opener of the Classic calander, not forgetting the many familiar accents from all over Europe.

On display was the completed Tank prototype, a T.57S rolling chassis and the three Bugatti wheels from our Collectibles range. Elsewhere in the show our Dunlop D-Type wheel was presented by the French Jaguar Driver's Club and ABC Brianza were showing the Borrani GTO model. These superb pieces are already coveted by some of the world's keenest model collectors and as things stand will soon be gold-dust. You have been warned !

Now its back to the workbench and some serious building. Until next year...
