Chateau Find ! (UPDATE )

UPDATE by Paul Linster who pointed out theat there is a nice little website about this Marseille make (click).
Not all great finds come from barns or sheds. This one came from a French chateau. The sensation of this weekends Concours Het Loo in Holland is without any doubt the dinosauresque ~1920 Turcat-Méry that is offered for sale by wellknown French dealer Bruno Vendiesse. The early postwar one-off supercar was built to special order of the Comte de Montpensier based on a 9 Litre Lorraine-Dietrich aero engine. The photos do no justice at all to the massive visual impact of the sports touring by Paris coachbuilder Million-Guiet. The last two years the car has undergone a technical restoration without touching any of the two tons of patina that come with this incredible machine. But don't take our word for it. Check the car by yourself today at the second day of Concours Het Loo in Holland or visit next weeks Louis Vuitton Classic . Now before you start e-mailing Mr. Bruno Vendiesse, bear in mind that Chateau Finds don't go for peanuts. As a price indicator think of a simple, straightforward little chateau... (photos by editor)
