Porsche at Retromobile 2020

1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight presented by Serge Heitz Automobile

Between 5th and 9th February, the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Centre in Paris hosted the 2020 edition of Retromobile. This year’s edition, boosted by the continuing success of previous years, was considered a huge success as massive crowds were seen both outside the entrance as well as inside the exhibition. But the most significant indicator was the quality of the road and race cars on display. Among the exhibitors, there were many garages and companies who specialised in classic car restoration, auction houses, classic car or specific car clubs, resellers of particular spare parts for classic cars, books, memorabilia and scale model resellers. This was a unique opportunity to see a multitude of road and race cars, prepared and displayed in such excellent condition, and all under one roof. Some of the cars on display were extremely valuable due to their rarity, but also because of their provenance.
