The excellent Alvis Archive Trust published a few years Another marvel by Carrosserie Graber, 1950 Bentley MkVI FHC. Three pieces were built. This is well-know that Hermann Graber coachworked several chassis brands, even if the Carrosserie is mainly remembered for its works with Alvis.

This example shows the genius and versatility of the Wichtrach firm. Just enough, not too much, and always tasteful. Thanks to the Rolls-Royce/Bentley dealer who showed up with this beauty in Lucerne.

The excellent Alvis Archive Trust published a few years ago a picture of the 1958 Alvis Graber TC108G of my previous post, where the car is indeed silver, as I wrote.

The picture comes from the Alvis Archive Trust, so this is not mine.

Alvis Graber TC108G 1958, G for Hermann Graber of Wichtrach, BE. One of only three LHD cars. Chassis 25941 if not mistaken. Delivered new to Switzerland, but - here again to check - with another color, silver. Anyway, these cars are great in any colors. Thanks to the dealer for bringing this beauty to Lucerne.

This splendid 1935 2-seater MG PB was for sale in Lucerne. I do not know if it was sold, but it attracted a lot of interest, which is easy to understand.

It also has a compressor like the one I have on my K3, I mean in the front and not under the hood as you can see on several MG. According to the seller the carburetor is a large SU H6 13/4. Not bad.

I am not sure that the color is original, but feel free to correct me. Anyway, even with this color, this is a fantastic car. I wish the seller and the new owner good luck.

To be honest, not my cup of tea. Even its sound was disappointing... at least at parking speed.

But, if you like mid-engine sports cars, V12, exclusivity (around 140 were made), a piece of vision and history, and turbocharged cars, this is the ticket. Yes, quad-turbocharged V12. Not bad.

Bugatti EB110. Do you remember Alain Delon, French actor, driving through the streets of Paris with this car, when the car was launched? I do. And it was nice.

Another rarity. Iso Rivolta. I saw this one on Sunday, and Saturday another one. And knowing that a famous garage in Switzerland is currently selling one, that makes at least three in the country... not bad for a car produced at around 800 pieces.

It was built during the 1960s in various engine versions. I admit I do not know exactly how to recognize them from the outside and to distinguish the submodels, i.e. 300, 340, 350, and even 400.

However, what I like a lot is the birth of the car brand. Renzo Rivolta, a lover of beautiful cars, decided to create a sporty, luxurious model. Thanks to the fortune he had amassed from the success of his... household appliances, he hired Bertone and Giorgetto Giugiaro to design a Coupe. And the rest is history. Lovely.

The Swiss Classic World in Lucerne was great. I spent three nice days, met a lot of people, thanks to all of you.

I could also see a few jewels, too. Such as this De Tomaso Mangusta. Around 400 pieces, and two were in Lucerne. This one and another one in the exhibition hall.

This car came after the Vallelunga and before the Pantera. The word "mangusta" means "mongoose" in Italian, an animal that can kill cobras. It was rumored that the car was so named in retaliation to a failed deal between Alejandro de Tomaso and Carroll Shelby. I do not know it this is true, but it clearly makes sense. Have a nice week.

This amazing Derby Rolls-Royce was for sale on Saturday... but was not sold. This is a 1939 Wraith Sedanca by Gurney Nutting.

Sure, you have to live with the size, but the elegance and uniqueness (three of them were made) of the car are splendid. The Tudor grey color is great, too. The 6-cylinder 4.2-litre engine was powerful enough to cruise through continental Europe... but probably after WWII.

I am always amazed by people who ordered an expensive car in such a critical period, I mean, when the future was very cloudy.

Arriving with class and understatement at the Swiss Classic World in Lucerne.

Bristol 401-403 Two-door Coupe built after WWII and in the 1950s. Around 600 pieces were made of the 401. So very rare for us... but a huge number for Bristol. It should have the BMW 328 engine with hemispherical combustion chambers.

Thanks to the lady at the wheel for showing up with her beautiful car.

This afternoon spent in Lucerne was fantastic. Sun, cars, beers, nice talks, etc. No complain. This Alfa Romeo was the car to have this afternoon. Yes, an Alfa.

The Alfa Romeo 1900 M (also known by its nickname Matta, meaning "mad" in Italian) is a four-wheel drive utility vehicle produced in the beginning of the 1950s. Developed on request of the Italian Ministry of Defence, it was made in both military and civilian versions.

Is field gray the new red? No idea. But this car is a rare sight in Switzerland, and it was great to see one today. Thanks.
