Am absolutely delighted to get a mention at 1.54.30. I'm glad the Salmson chat on my TH-cam Shed Racing channel has an audience. Not only that but the car you feature, is the exact car that my Dad, Victor Dutton bought in 1952 and the first Salmson I ever worked on....Ivan
I was working at the British Motor Museum stand from Friday to Sunday and I can see from my colleagues in shot that you came earlier. I'm glad you took the time to look around 33 EJB - we are very fond of it at BMM. Thanks for including us in your video!
Dear Richard, thank you for letting us all participate in your visit at Rétromobile 2024! Well done! Wow, the Ferraris and Bugattis are amazing! But all those cars in this exhibition are! Thank you for your effort!
Also thanks for the mention of the Dutton Bugatti stand at 47 minutes. An eclectic mix for us this year. My son, Tim, took Suzie's Lusso Prototype and my Fantic 125cc chopper just to spice things up a bit. I stayed home and thanks to your video I could enjoy the 'car catwalk' from my sofa.
Thanks Ivan you are a living legend. Featured a salmson at near the end because of your great exposure to the marque. Keep up the good work. love the '59 mini.
Hi Richard. Thank you for your pictures of all car. PS. I build the Renault Race car in Scale 1:87 all open and close. the original look like my tiny model car. Im happy. Best.
Went to Retromobile 4 years ago loved it. Thought would be by myself but wife who went to Paris in high school and said hated it surprised me and wanted to come with me. She loved Paris and now we go every year, sadly not again to Retro. I remember how nice everyone was and wanted to talk cars for ever!
Good evening Richard . Terrific coverage ! As you say, far too much to take in . I could have spent all day there. (Which you probably did !) At 1hr 49mins you mentioned the Leyland Thomas . This was self built by J.G.Parry -Thomas . He broke the Land speed record in this car in 1926 . 171. 02 mph . Sadly , he was killed attempting to retake the record from Colin Campbell at Pendine Sands on the South coast of Wales . The chain drive failed decapitating the poor soul . The mechanics decided to bury the car "babs" at the scene . It was controversially unearthed and restored in the late 1990 's (?) This is that car . How do you pick the best .....impossible ! But that 1959 Skoda 2 seater was very impressive ... and like yourself that twin engined 2 CV would have to in my dream collection . Thanks Richard . And say hi to Maikel .
Great coverage Richard, love your enthusiasm! I’m from Vancouver living now in France and I was at the show as well, but I missed 1/4 of the cars cause my daughter was tired and bored, haha so it was great I got to see the rest of them through your channel. It’s funny, so many old car that you never see on the streets of France. The average French aren’t into cars. Too bad for me being an avid car person like yourself. Keep the up the great work!
What a gorgeous collection of cars. I have never been a fan of the Ferrari 365 GTS/4, but that grey metallic one is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the great video
Merci Richard! Thank you for bringing this show to us. What a week you must have had. I think you paced it very well. I felt like I went right along with you. Et maintenant, il faut regarder vos videos des reparations des Jaguars E type!💗
Thanks for sharing Richard! Some beautiful old cars mixed in with some newer ones. I could only wish that Victoria could have something like this. Looking forward to seeing some moe=re of your shops work. Cheers
Great video and in no way was it too long. Wonderful to be guided by someone who knows automobiles My only complaint? - I'd love to see everything, so I'd welcome a part 2, 3 and 4!
👍👍... great coverage..Nice to see cars from the Nico Aaldering collection. And those Talbots...and and and. Ty RMO...our roving reporter. Life is good.
Another great video , Richard. Perfect for a stormy day here in Northern California. I cant believe the Ferrari 250 has a Fram oil filter. Blasphemy...
That Lancia at 01:04:19 is a 1947 Lancia Aprilia bodied by Monviso. You called specific attention to the rear roof and glass...but didn't seem to find it familiar in any way. Look up the Studebaker Starlight Coupe from about 1948-1952...and you might be surprised! BTW, "coda tronca" at 01:09:00 does not mean "long tail." Quite the opposite, in fact. It means "cut-off tail" or "truncated tail"...what we also call a Kamm tail.
I'm glad you eventually found the Cercle Amilcar stand in the club section towards the end hosting a rare Amilcar MCO - a works car powered by a supercharged inline 6 , like the era competition client C6 you found nearby, which has been a dream of mine for quite a few decades now...
At 1:39 etc you're looking at one of the rarest 2 CV's ever produced; only about 700 (slightly less) were ever made, from which oly a few dozens still exist. The former Fench colonies were hardly to reach with a conventional car. So Citroën put one engine in the front, and one (reversed) in the back. And it became a 4 wheel-drive 2 CV! You'd be lucky if you could buy one for USD 80 - 100.000 nowadays. Fun-fact; in the Netherlands, the Citroën 2 CV is called "Lelijke Eend", which in English means "Ugly Duck"😃. Thx for posting btw👍!
Woowwwww Richard, what an impressive 2 hours video . This is so interesting, I can not take my eyes off. That explains where you have been all these days. I am learning so much about the non Jaguar cars. Thanks for all the work and knowledge.
Love the MG stand. The “Riviea Fletcher” looks more like Rivers Fletcher. He wrote a book on the Jaguar XJS, with lots of nice factory photos. Must have owned that MG or raced it?
Lovely to see some Pegasos on show. When one of Spain's major truck manufacturers decided to venture into building supercars they really pushed the boat out. That gorgeous dohc V8 was developed into a twin supercharged monster that could have destroyed the opposition in racing if it wasn't for the factory owner's chronic lack of financial management that sadly saw the end of the Spanish equivalent to Ferrari Pegasos could have rivalled then and perhaps even have built cars to win at Le Man's.
I am assuming you edited the commentary on later, unless you have a photographic memory of car specification. But your enthusiasm comes across well in time with the imagery...thanks for your efforts..
Monsieur. Ricard Michael.... Marvellous Paris Expo P.Versallies that you have filmed. Just love the car turne out, and especially the Ferrari stand...? I saw the Ferrari 414p that competied against the ''Caroll Shellby'' Ford GT40's,? And the Ferarri 412p chassis is the only original remaing survivor left...? And It's the loosing Ferrari car two, the wone that nobody took eny notice of...? And now it is a thoroughbred Maranello Race classic, and the only original remeing car left, that has been forgotton by the wider audience, if you '''could manage to add''' a Ferrari 412p to your ''escuderia car collection'' it will turne your collection into a💰 ''Billion''💰 Dollar Collection.... It's a Mona Lisa in the car culture world... And the competitor to the origens of Caroll Shelby's Ford GT40's... I love the Ford GT40 MK1❤ and especially the Ford GT ''(MK2)'' ❤But wonce you have seen the Ferrari 412p chassi you get to understand ''where'' the ''Gorilla Powerd'' Ford GT40 expression came from...?😂😂😂 (I Just Love It 🤣 I jut love the West 😂) A -4.0L V12- versus -7.5L V8- And when you get see the ''Forgoton Ferrari'' 412p of the 60's you really apriciate the Racing designe peddigree they have 💯 Is the Ferrari 412p or '''P''' race cars classed as a Le mans Ferrari racing ''Dino''...? P.S. Llove the 1970's American Porsche 917 road legal version to Die for❤🧺🧹⚰🪦...?🎼🏁 going to whoch the rest of your Versallies Video 🖌
Retromobile was spectacular. I know Villa d'este Concours and Pebble Beach are in the running to compare. Hard to say, they are all so different. Thanks for watching 🥂

Ivan, as I said on your other comment: you are living legend and it is an absolute honor to have you here.
I was working at the British Motor Museum stand from Friday to Sunday and I can see from my colleagues in shot that you came earlier. I'm glad you took the time to look around 33 EJB - we are very fond of it at BMM. Thanks for including us in your video!

We've all had the "bad " day in Paris, but she always woos you back.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart. So much appreciate your efforts. Also your correct pronunciation .
Great video and coverage of the event. Thanks for giving us outside of Europe a look into the show. This is a trip I will now be planning. Thank you!

C'est Magnifique is Magnifique... your all (JAGED UP) great Job Ken Vendley
Thanks very much for the tour, Richard. Great job.
Thank you for this amazing video. It was like being with a good friend!

It’s funny, so many old car that you never see on the streets of France. The average French aren’t into cars. Too bad for me being an avid car person like yourself. Keep the up the great work!
It took me a while to discover France's rich automotive heritage and that for many decades before WWII they were at the top of the automotive world.
I'm exhausted after that. The insurance policy for this event must be enormous. Great coverage Richard.
Exhausted at the unremitting American accent for 2 hours? Yes. I had to turn the volume all the way down after the first 10 minutes.
Thank you for sharing this great video!
Fabulous as always !!!!! Love your stuff. Surprised I haven’t bumped into you at Goodwood or Pebble.
What a gorgeous collection of cars. I have never been a fan of the Ferrari 365 GTS/4, but that grey metallic one is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the great video

Wrong timestamp. Need to add the seconds.
Awesome video Richard, thanks for sharing. I keep expecting you to run into Wayne Carini

Hi Michael, live, unedited, sloppy narration thanks. Sometimes I'm reading from the info sheets real-time, but they were all 🍟
Your doing a great job..thanks again Michael
Paddy Hopkirk was a legend in that Mini. Great to see it.
I was going to scroll through quickly but this is such an intimate viewing I’m savoring every minute. Thanks for doing this.

Guess that means you won't be coming to Amelia Island PS- that was a CLK-LM, successor to the GTR but predecessor to the CLR ("Flying Mercedes")
Modamiami is the new Amelia island!!
The bagpipes are killing me
Blame Gregor Fisken, so damn annoying
My favorite of all automobile designs, is that blue lwb california spyder. Something about it..
So well done, Richard! Is there a better car show than this one?
Retromobile was spectacular. I know Villa d'este Concours and Pebble Beach are in the running to compare. Hard to say, they are all so different. Thanks for watching 🥂
Not long enough! Richard, quit screwing around and put some time and effort into it!
Thanks so much!
What a slacker, next time I'll feature the convention food and bathrooms.
Wahnsinn.
cheers from Germany.
