PRETTY MUCH every reader of this fine organ will have visited the occasional car show. Try to imagine one without a single Monaro, Torana or Ford GT-HO. And barely an American presence, only a few Mustangs or Corvettes and not even a passing mention of Bathurst.
Instead, multiple Bugatti and Bentley scattered around the place, dozens – yes dozens – of early Maserati and Ferrari jostling for floor space, more between-the-war coach-built exotics than you can count, and an eye-glazing endless array of early Porsche, XK Jaguars and Pagoda-top and early Mercs amongst the glittering jewels. Add in the occasional marque you have never heard of, and we have set the scene for Retromobile 2023.
