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.

Top Marques Monaco

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 !

Interesting company from Poland, making seats based on the Porsche 991 rear end, or 427 Cobra front or rear.


All bespoke stuff. The rear wing slides up electrically, revealing the wine cooler, made to look like an engine block

Company is called "Luc & Andre". This setup was about 16.000EU

Lovely collection of older Lamborghini's:

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.

If scale models of cars are too mundaine, why not have one made out of marble...



The Pagani again



And the 50th Anniversary


And a Noble M400 in the wild
