France's Retromobile 2007
|
||||
![]() For this 32nd show, Retromobile is offering an exhibition as new and original as it is prestigious: a dozen automobiles from the personal collection of Nick Mason. He inherited the passion for beautiful cars from his father, a famous director of documentary films on the history of the automobile; and it is motor racing, with its production of adrenaline, which turned him towards race cars! He goes to the driver’s seat and enters competitions as a private race car driver with his own vehicles. Between the 1980’s and today, he has participated five times in the 24 Heures du Mans and three in the Le Mans Classic. From the Panhard racer (1901) to the Aston Martin Ulster (1935), from the Jaguar type D (1955) to the Ferrari 250 GTO (1962), from the Ferrari 512 S (1970) to the McLaren F1 (1995), it is a century of car racing that Nick Mason is going to be sharing with the 100,000 visitors coming to Rétromobile. The Polar Expeditions of Paul-Emile Victor In collaboration with the Expéditions Polaires Françaises and the
Institut polaire, Retromobile is presenting the vehicles of the early
expeditions led by Paul-Emile Victor. This great explorer was, in 1947, the
first to use heavy tracked vehicles to travel across the frozen immensities.
