It’s nice to see that Retromobile is back (March 16-20). As usual, it is so big, so fascinating, and with so many cars of interest for VeloceToday readers, we offer three or more stories from the event.

From the VeloceToday Archives, April 18, 2013
Thanks to our man Hugues Vanhoolandt, we are able to present these Gordini photos, listed by chassis number, for this article. They were taken at a variety of events from 2008 to 2013. And, thanks to VeloceToday contributor and author Roy Smith for his book Amédée Gordini, a True Racing Legend.
Before VeloceToday contributor Roy Smith wrote his comprehensive book on Gordini, the only source of in-depth information about the cars was Christian Huet’s amazing book, on the subject. Published in 1984 in French, Huet traced the history of Gordini, plus all known cars.
