There is always somebody standing by the cars it seems. It can be tough to keep people clear while you take a pic so i just took them.

Also one of the F1 cars was a kind of Demonstration piece. It didn't have an engine in it. That was the car that was there last year. I'll post some pics from last years show later.

Gotta love that P4...but it's a replica. A very finely crafted one, but it's still a replica. Here's the forum where the guy who built it kept photographic records of his progress.

I think perhaps you jumped to conclusions a little too soon. They are pictures of the restoration process. The owner is Jim Glickenhaus and the 330 P4 is s/n 0846. It is an original and therefore even more stunning.

Thanks for the link though. It's excellent!

EDIT: I think I know where you're coming from now that I have searched a bit more. This article explains it really isn't really possible to designate it as original or replica. http://www.velocetoday.com/cars/cars_69.php But that's the case with a lot of restored cars nowadays IMO.
