It's good to be back doing this, I've missed fielding questions!
On the whole, your average customer wouldn't know about the Basel fair - if I thought it would be of interest to them, I would bring it up in conversation, but that would usually be after my boss had been over to Basel, and brought back the press pack with the latest photos. We did have quite a few collectors, though, so they would often come in to have a chat about what they thought might be released - I remember one guy guessing that there would be a new Explorer II, so he made sure he got first refusal on the first one delivered
