Weissbier and exotic classics sounds like a winning combination! I`m lead to believe we`ll only scratch the surface spending just the one day viewing, but have been advised that if we keep the pace up and ignore all the 190SLs we`re in with a chance of seeing a lot of good stuff! If my mate`s snaps from last year are anything to go by, there`ll be a lot of mystery car contest material on show! smile

See you near the Italian-American hybrids then - I`ll be searching for Isos!

Went there on Wednesday for the preview - cost €30 which I thought was a bit excessive. But whats the point? The cars are grossly overpriced (perhaps by 30% comparison to Auction prices) & anybody that buys on sight at the Fair is absolutely crazy. You cant test or drive the car, only view the externals. Yet in my four hours there I saw that a BMW 507 (cost €175,000)was marked as sold! More money than sense!
