Geneva Classics always brings out some impressive vintage cars and this year was no exception. At the forefront of these was a Hai 450 SS<\/a> from the Monteverdi museum. It ranks among the very few Swiss supercars ever made.<\/p>\n

Another highlight of the show was a display that included the entire Slavic Collection. This had some rare Ferraris, but many of the heavy hitters were recreations built on donor Ferrari chassis.<\/p>\n

Other cars which stood out were Jean-Bugatti’s personal Type 49, a Bentley Cresta<\/a>, David Brown’s first car, the DB1, and a quintet of swiss Bugattis. All these can be found in our feature gallery<\/a> by Julien Giambagli.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
