It will be a long day. It will be a wonderful long day. The end of our visit to the fair is traditionally the great display from Artcurial. In front of the barrier, the less fortunate, those who are not allowed onto the site, press their bellies against the wall of the stand builders instead of their noses against the window glass.
The title heroes of the Artcurial catalogue alone are worth the visit, don't you think?
In addition, the first story of this year's Rétromobile comes from Artcurial's inventory. As you know, one of F-Register's concerns is to track down errors and fakes and, if possible, present them in the register in a corrected form. The scene was shaken up a little when serial number 20981 was offered as a lot. It was supposed to be a left-hand drive European version of a 512 BB, which was spotted in Europe in 2001. At the same time, the community knew that a right-hand drive car with # 20981 was delivered new via Maranello Concessionaires in Egham and has been in Australia since at least 2002. Everyone had their pencils sharpened and one did it, contacted Artcurial, they inspected "20981" and found a body number that matches the chassis number 28787 - great story, facts clarified, lot withdrawn. We love great stories!
