Retromobile Special Part 1

It's me, Mark Stone and welcome to the Back Seat Driver Podcast. In this episode, I'll describe my experience visiting Retromobile in Paris. This 47th edition of the show opened the ball of festivities linked to the 24 Hours of Le Mans centenary and confirmed its status as the referenced show for classic car enthusiasts. It was my first time attending the show, and I realised what I had been missing.

In this first part of the podcast, I'll share my initial thoughts and impressions of the show, from the incredible selection of classic cars to the fantastic art and accessories on display. You'll also hear my interviews with amazing people like Cyril, a tremendous artist and classic car enthusiast who designs his watches.

I'll also tell you about the fantastic exhibition centre, the show's place, and the delicious food and drinks available. And if you think you'll get lost in Paris because of the language barrier, don't worry, the exhibitors and visitors come from all over the world, and the French will speak English.
