Re: Retro Heuer in Paris photo report

Hello Laurent,

thanks for sharing such a lot of photos.
I remember a lot of the cars...

The Porsche 908/3, not a beauty but very efficient.
The 906, most of the cars have been destroyed (according
to Porsche Museum Helmut Pfeifhofer, Austria).

Not to mention the watches....

Thanks again for sharing.

: Dear friends,

: Here’s our last Friday Retro Heuer Gathering photo report.
: A meeting dedicated to cars, watches and shared passion to vintage
: Heuer and watches in general.
: A lot of cars indeed either on the Retromobile Motor Show or at the
: Bonhams preview, a lot of watches too where Heuer, Rolex,
: Audimars Piguet, Zenith to name just a few met each others.
: And finally an evening meeting between us, "Heuer
: Maniacs" came from several countries and some “Montres
: Mecaniques” (MM) forum members where the meeting quickly
: turned into a profusion of watches, all of that in a nice and
: really fun atmosphere...!
: For this evening of multiple profusions, a profusion of photos to
: share was a must, here it is.

: For some of us, the day had started at Retromobile where we’ve
