      I would do it with pleasure but I am a bit afraid to bore most of you
      Indeed Justin ask me the same question two years ago and I wrote a complete story you may find on this same topic pages 34 to 41
      I wish you a good reading

                  • On the contrary of Retromobile, major constructors at the exception of the French ones Renault, Citroen, Peugeot do not have a stand
                    Idem for Historical car brokers
                    Therefore Porsche is not a major player as most of the classic Porsches are too expensives to interest the aver
