Retromobile: Diverse R4 display among star attractions
On the Hall & Hall stand was the Eric Broadley-penned Lola Mk6 GT that initiated Ford's Le Mans programme. Now Mecom team-liveried, the Lola has inspired historic ace Rob Hall: "It could run a 6-litre Chevy motor and is 100kg lighter than a Ford, so I'd love to show what it could do."
One of the most talked about cars was a cute 1926 Amilcar CGSS with Duval coupé coachwork. Its German owner spent 20 years restoring it.
Another talking point was the European post-restoration debut of the fabulous grey Bugatti Type 57S Atlantic '57473' on Swiss dealer Lukas Huni's stand.
