Press Release - January 2021
CLASSIC CARS
The French writer Nicolas de Chamfort once said: “All passions exaggerate, and they are passions only because they exaggerate ...”
Our passion is for the motorcar, in all its forms, and for those who share it with us. Without it, 2020 would have been a dismal year, but in the end, our department set a record with a turnover of more than 10 million euros. In these trying times, we do not brag but think of those who are suffering most during the health crisis. So let us put 2020 behind us and celebrate the prospect of better times to come in the months ahead. The entire team in the classic cars department at Aguttes has made an enthusiastic start to 2021 and wishes you a very happy New Year.
Accompanied by the sweet sounds of a free-flowing carburettor, let our passion carry us away, to adventures shared and perhaps ... a newfound freedom.
