Le Mans Classic 2022

Post by Lodein » Fri Jul 08, 2022 4:52 pm

I was last week at Le Mans Classic. If I went trice at the 24h du Mans, it was the first time for Le Mans Classic. Clearly it is a great great automotive event especially since the weather was good

A few photos before giving you a more complete report, but it will take a little time...

There was the Acturial auction with a big lot of this beautiful Maserati A6 GCS 53 Fiandri Spyder which was sold for €2,950,000 excluding costs for an estimate of €3,250,000 / €3,650,000
Image

But also Talbot Lago to take back (Here a T26 Record Sport Sedan)
Image

Image

The visit to the paddock is great, a few models taken at random, there are so many extraordinary cars
Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ 1965
Image

Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza 1934
Image

Ferrari 312 P 1969
Image

Aston Martin DB4 GT 1960
Image

we can see them in detail and hear them adjust / rise in temperature...
The V12 of a 1953 Ferrari 250 MM
Image

The Jaguar XK of a C-Type
Image

There are thousands of cars (8500 announced) in the different clubs, with for example :
Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato
Image

Jaguar XJ220
Image

but also simpler cars like this beautiful Samba Rallye
Image

I was with a friend from Club Lotus
Image

and we did laps of the 24h circuit of Le Mans, clearly, it's extraordinary
Image

but hey, Le Mans Classic is above all races with extraordinary cars (I know I'm repeating myself, but I don't have any other adjectives to qualify this)
Jaguar Type D and Ferrari 250 Breadvan on the pregrid
Image

Ford GT40s on the Le Mans type start
Image

Some photos before the Dunlop Footbridge
Image

Image

Image

As you can see from the tire tracks above, they attacked, a little too much for sure...
Image

As you can see there was a lot of English

I'll put more pictures but not right away...

Some French cars with in the foreground a Delahaye 135 M Cabriolet luxe by Chapron from 1950 sold for €84,632 including fees and in the background a Delahaye 148 L cabriolet three positions by Chapron from 1939 sold for €88,208 including fees
Image

There were several Talbot Lago including this 1950 Talbot Lago Record T26 Coach over-profiled sold for €82,248
Image

To finish a short visit to Germany with this 1958 Mercedes 300 SL Roadster sold for €1,025,120 including fees
Image

Image
The paint was nice from a distance but far from nice with scratches, blisters and even drips.

Generally the cars except for a few were not in perfect condition and if for a car at 10,000 € we can understand it, for cars close to 100,000 € or even 1,000,000 € it is a bit sad...

Wow! Some proper Jags there! Thanks for sharing!
We have a pretty nice show here first weekend in August but I’m going to miss that unfortunately so these pics are welcome.
