From 17-20th of April, 2014, is Top Marques in Monaco.
The event is catered around supercars, high-end luxury items such as watches, furniture and accessories, and there were even things like helicopters and boats.
I have been wanting to go for a few years, but never quite got around to making it...
With the Easter weekend, I was in the country this year and decided to drop by... Here are some shots
Aventador and 458 Speciale in the tunnel, it seems they were on ADV.1 wheels !
Star of the show was undoubtedly the David Brown Speedback, having its worldwide launch here. (After the limited viewings a few weeks ago)
The level of craftmanship is just nuts. Real wood, the best leather, machined parts from billet aluminium.
Underpinnings are Jaguar XKR (510BHP Supercharged V8)
The "Dickie Seat", it folds out so you can have a seat watching the polo match
Lovely car. Will be built bespoke to your desires.
They ARE looking into launching it in the USA, but unless there is serious demand, they won't do it (crash testing is too expensive)
Price is 495,000£ Sterling plus taxes, and options.
Most interesting car on the show for me personally was this amazing Jaguar C-type recreation.
It's built by the same guys that will do the bodywork for the David Brown Speedback.
Spent about 1.5h talking to the people behind the car.
It's only 950KG (2100lbs) wet. No boring stuff such as ABS, traction control etc, just a lovely Jag 4.2 straight 6 mated to a Tremec T5 and limited slip diff, disc brakes with bias adjuster all around. It's amazing to look at, fit and finish is beyond reproach. This was their demonstrator car, so it had seen quite a bit of use.
Again, they will build you one, bespoke, in any color, with hidden away options if required.
