For many classic car enthusiasts, the Rétromobile is the highlight of the trade fair year. Every year, they flock to the French capital and patiently endure queues, inadequate catering facilities and the typical crowds (over 500 cars from 550 exhibitors on 51,000 square meters) in the cramped halls of the Rétromobile Paris, even after the expansions.

From February 3 to 7, 2016, it was that time again, and the 41st edition was unlikely to disappoint any of the approximately 110,000 visitors.

From Citroën to Renault, from Honda to Porsche

The car manufacturers, who once again spared no effort to showcase interesting vehicles at the Porte de Versailles in 2016, certainly played a not inconsiderable part in the high-caliber trade fair every year.

Bild Citroën Traction Avant 11 B (1936) - vier Zyinder, 46 PS - auf dem Citroën-Stand - Rétromobile Paris 2016

Citroën, for example, had one of the rare Traction Avant 11 B convertibles from 1936 on display. And vis-à-vis, variants of the Méhari were bursting with joie de vivre.

Bild Peugeot 402 Roadster Darl'mat (1938) - eines der schönsten Autos Frankreichs - Rétromobile Paris 2016

Peugeot celebrated the 50th birthday of the 204 and proudly presented a 402 Dal'mart Roadster from 1938 with an extensive racing history.

Bild Renault Etoile Filante (1956) - Turbinen-Rekordfahrzeug mit 270 PS - Rétromobile Paris 2016

Renault showed the RE40 from 1983 in view of its imminent return to Formula 1, but also put the Alpine vehicles in the best light. In addition, the Etoile Filante from 1956, a successful record-breaking turbine car, was given plenty of space.

Bild Jaguar XJ9 (1988) - Le-Mans-Sieger im Jahr 1988 auf dem Jaguar-Stand - Rétromobile Paris 2016

Honda celebrated the 25th birthday of the NSX and the 50th of the Honda S800, while Jaguar had a large stand featuring the Le Mans-winning XJ9, among other things.

Bild Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster (1958) - Mercedes zeigte die grossen Cabriolets - Rétromobile Paris 2016

At Mercedes-Benz, the large and sophisticated convertibles were celebrated, at Porsche successful racing cars such as the Dreikantschaber or the Le Mans winner GT1, but also the winners of the French Porsche restoration competition.

Bild Porsche 718W-RS Spider (1961) - auf dem Stand von Porsche - Rétromobile Paris 2016

And the former French national pride, the Bugatti brand? Yes, they were there, but in contrast to the competition, they did not present their history and only showed two current variants of the sports car manufacturer owned by Volkswagen. What a shame!

Noble dealer displays

A Rétromobile without Bugatti classics would of course be unthinkable, and of course there was no need to miss out on the sight of the famous sports and racing cars. It was the dealers who took up the cudgels for the Molsheim-based company, first and foremost Lukas Hüni, who displayed a Bugatti Grand Prix Type 59 from 1934 with a magnificent patina, once driven by Dreyfus, on his stand. And if that wasn't enough, a Jaguar D-Type, an XKSS and an Aston Martin DB 3 S from 1955 were also on display.

Bild Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider (1972) - auf dem Stand von Lukas Hüni - Rétromobile Paris 2016

The Fisken stand, which as always had racing and sports cars on display, was almost a little more glamorous, not least because of the much brighter lighting. Bizzarrini 5300 GT, Ferrari 512 M, Ferrari Dino 166 F2, Alfa Romeo 33/2 Le Mans, HWM Jaguar, Porsche 356 Carrera Abarth, Lotus 91 - the selection was fantastic.

Bild Porsche 356 GTL Carrera Abarth (1962) - auf dem Stand von Fisken - Rétromobile Paris 2016

Of course, other dealers such as Axel Schuette, Movendi and Galerie Les Damiers also had beautiful cars to offer, to name just a few examples. For those who had arrived in Paris with a big budget, almost nothing was impossible.

The return of a Baillon-Talbot-Lago

Exactly one year ago, the Baillon collection was auctioned off at the Rétrmobile 2015. Barn finds in more or less desolate condition had found new owners for millions. Among the more valuable cars was a Talbot-Lago T26 Record with Saoutchik bodywork from 1949.

Bild Talbot-Lago T26 Record Coupé Sautchik (1949) - der Scheuenfund der Baillon-Sammlung im Wiederaufbau - Rétromobile Paris 2016

In the meantime, the restoration work has obviously been started, at least the car could be shown with a completely new wooden frame. However, it is likely to be many months, if not years, before completion.

Bild Lancia Flavia (1965) - halb Scheunenfund, halb restauriert als Demonstrationsobjekt - Rétromobile Paris 2016

The example of a Lancia Flavia Coupé rebuilt on one side showed how restoration work can be impressively demonstrated.
In general, cars in barn-find condition were not in short supply, not least among the auction companies, which need not be a disadvantage for visitors to the fair, as these cars always have their own special charm.

The signature of Philippe Charbonneaux

To call him a car designer would be an understatement, because Philippe Charbonneaux was not just a draughtsman, but a mastermind. He enjoyed working with cars, but also designed highways, buildings and mobility concepts.

Bild Renault 16 Tricorps (1966) - auf der Basis des Renault 16 gestaltete Charbonneaux diese klassische Dreivolumen-Limousine - Rétromobile Paris 2016

As head of design at Renault, he was involved in the R8 and R16 models, among others, and so an R16 variant with a notchback was included in the special exhibition dedicated to him. Also on display was a Delahaye 235 with a pontoon body designed by Charbonneaux in 1950, as well as a "Pathé-Marconi" superbus.

Bild Wimille (1950) - Dritte Version, gezeichnet von Philippe Charbonneaux - Rétromobile Paris 2016

The Wimille from 1948, which was particularly aerodynamically advanced, was certainly also interesting.

The somewhat different cars

From the very beginning, the wheels on cars were positioned at the four corners, but Gabriel Voisin, a pioneer and car designer, came up with an alternative that arranged the wheels in a rhomboid or parallelogram. Surprised visitors to the Rétromobile were able to see five such vehicles that were created over 50 years, including two variants developed by Philippe Charbonneaux.

Bild L'Automodule (1968) - aus einem Science Fiction Film des Jahrees 1970, entwickelt von Philippe Charbonneaux - Rétromobile Paris 2016

Pininfarina's PFX from 1960 was probably the most aesthetically convincing, but the most innovative was L'Automodule from 1968, which was also used in a science fiction film, not entirely coincidentally.

Monster of record lust

In collaboration with the Bealieu Museum, the Rétromobile was able to present three record-breaking vehicles from the early days of the automobile in another special show. A Napier from 1903 with a Gordon Bennet Cup past, a Darracq V8 from 1905 that reached almost 200 km/h and the Fiat S76 from 1911, which with only four cylinders had a displacement of almost 30 liters to produce 300 hp at 1900 rpm and thus reach a speed of over 210 km/h, could not only be viewed by visitors, but at least partially also observed while driving and, above all, heard.

Bild Fiat S 76 (1911) - auf Demonstrationsfahrt vor den Hallen - Rétromobile Paris 2016

Anyone who has seen the flames on the Fiat S76 rebuilt by a Brit will not soon forget this monster, which weighs two tons and transmits its power to the rear wheels via chains.

110 years of ACO

The Automobile Club de l'Ouest, the organizer of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, celebrated a special anniversary. Founded back in 1906 around the Grand Prix de l'ACF in France, the ACO has been an integral part of the French racing scene ever since.

Bild Chenard & Walker Tank (1925) - in der Sonderausstellung zum 110. Geburtstag des ACO - Rétromobile Paris 2016

A generous display showcased 110 years of history, displaying racing cars from various decades as well as special cars such as the Ferrari Dino Berlinetta Speciale from 1965 together with informative panels.

Teuf-Teuf

We call them "Schnauferl" or brass cars, in France they are called "Teuf-Teuf", meaning the automobiles of the early days.

They were also given a special show, but to the delight of the visitors, the ancient cars could also be seen driving outside the hall and some people were even given the opportunity to take a ride.

The cars of Madame

"Une femme, une collection" was the name of a special exhibition of racing, sports and road cars that Julia de Baldanza had collected over the years. She describes herself more as a fan than a racing driver, but she can certainly handle the old cars, as her results testify.

Bild McLaren M3A (1965) - ex Patsy Burt - in der Sonderschau "Une femme, une collection" - Rétromobile Paris 2016

Among the cars on display in Paris were a Bugatti 35B once driven by Elisabeth Junek, a Frazer-Nash Le Mans Coupé once owned by Kitty Maurice, a Maserati A6GCM, a Voisin C14 Chartre, the 1965 McLaren M3A driven by Patsy Burt and a Wolseley Doctor's Coupé. As a technology fan, Julia also bought a modern Volkswagen XL1.

The cars from the 1976 Paris Motor Show

Youngtimers were not neglected in Paris either. Among other things, a special show was dedicated to them, recalling vehicles that made their debut at the 1976 Paris Motor Show. An Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint, a BMW 6-series (E24), a Citroën CX Break, an Alpine-Renault A310 V6, a Mercedes-Benz W123, a Renault 14 and the Volkswagen Golf GTI, the father of a new vehicle category, were on display in the unfortunately poorly lit and cramped composition.

Bild VW Golf GTI (1976) - neben Alfasud Sprint und BMW 6-er - sie feierten am Pariser Salon 1976 Premiere - Rétromobile Paris 2016

There was also a lot of modern sheet metal to be seen at the clubs and dealerships, and youngtimers are also booming in France.

The diversity of French clubs

As always, the French clubs lovingly set up attractive stands, most of which of course also honored French brands such as Facel or Simca, but the French naturally also appreciate other manufacturers and so the French BMW club, for example, had a BMW Dixi 3/15, which has become extremely rare in the meantime and which started out as a licensed production of the Austin Seven, but over the course of its construction period became increasingly distant from the original.

Bild BMW Dixi 3/15 (1931) - seit Jahrzehnten beim gleichen Besitzer - Rétromobile Paris 2016

The BMW was of course left-hand drive and the entire electrical system was converted from Lucas to Bosch. The BWM people also made many modifications to the chassis and engine. The car on display belongs to a German expatriate who once used the little car on a daily basis and also commuted long distances in it. The Dixi has since been restored.

Ballot times two

Some visitors may have seen a Ballot for the first time. Between 1919 and 1932, the Ballot establishment produced automobiles that also caused a sensation in motor racing. The company was taken over by Hispano Suiza in 1931.

Bild Ballot 2LS (1921) - herrlicher Vorkriegssportwagen - Rétromobile Paris 2016

Three vehicles were on display in Paris, one of which was probably the Targa Florio participant of 1922 and the other impressed with a torpedo body by Lagache et Glaszmann.

Four auctions

Four auctions with over 400 cars took place around the Rétromobile 2016. If you wanted to visit them all from start to finish, you would have been busy for over 20 hours. In the run-up to its two auctions, the Paris-based company showcased the cars in Hall 2 of the Rétromobile and was once again a magnet for visitors. After all, it's not every day that you get to see a Ferrari sports car (335 S from 1957) valued at 28 to 32 million euros. And indeed, the car was sold by Artcurial on Friday evening for over 30 million, and the news even made it onto television.

The results of the RM/Sotheby's, Bonhams, Artcurial and Artcurial-Citroën auctions are documented separately.
