The following is French that all English people will be able to read but may not be so easy for you.

Now that the hype has settled down regarding the Bruce Weiner Collection Auction in February 2013. I would like to hear from anybody who intends to attend the event in person, even if they do not intend to bid.

I am looking for sombody who could represent Rumcar and Rumcar News at the event. If you can help. please email me on chris@rumcars.org.

This is too good an opportunity to pass up, where the great and the good of Microcars will be in one place at one time.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Post by: Big Al on October 24, 2012, 10:07:02 am: I can confirm I am not going as far as I know. Sure it will be a fine bunfight but I will not be buying. Like Ferdi I am thinking prices are getting to high for justifiable ownership of to many of these cars and I have enough to be getting on with anyway. I will take the risk and wait for the new Phoenix museum to open.
