What a treat – Rétromobile Paris last weekend...

Some fabulous cars on display. Too many to mention but those that caught my eye included a gorgeous split-window Stingray, a number of original Alpine A110s, and a rather eye-catching Citroen 1980s concept car that still looks futuristic!

They also assembled a collection of the BMW Art Cars, including Jeff Koons' paint streaks (which is still my favourite).

Octane 273 is out now! This issue is led by a comprehensive Miura 60th anniversary celebration, in which we follow a special example through its word-class restoration. We examine period construction methods, materials, finishes and the detailed research that defines a truly correct Miura rebuild today. The feature is supported with a guide to every Miura variant, insight from its creators, plus market analysis that explains why originality and restoration quality matter more than ever.

Elsewhere in the issue: an exquisitely restored 1927 Bentley 3 Litre boat-tail, the story of the Venturi Atlantique in the UK, an Alfa Giulia GTA rarely seen outside Portugal and a deep dive into Crosthwaite & Gardiner’s foundry – where obsolete castings are brought back to life. Plus lots more!

HMRC’s own 2014 policy document which justified the rolling 40-year VED exemption mentioned that the historic car industry was worth £4bn and employed about 28,000 people in the UK.
