Only very recently an exceptional transfer was realised by Bruno Vendiesse and Jack Braam Ruben. It is a very rare occasion to come across a specimen of the French make Niclausse. Let alone to find two vehicles of this grand marque 'de Paris'. Both nearly hundred years old. Both unrestored. Both in pristine condition!

Let's hope they don't need that on the next outing, which most probably will be Pebble Beach 2007.
