Really nice with the exception of what looks like Gillet Vertigo, which also seems kind of out of place given its country of origin. I am especially a fan of the Fiat 8V Vignale and the Alfa Romeo 1900 SS by Ghia.

[Iva Barchetta]

Yes,I didn't have time to explain earlier.

I had 30 minutes free Wifi on the ferry home and my phone also stops posting sometimes,so I posted as much as possible.

Now I'm home but the phone needs charging too,so more pics tomorrow.

The Gillet is part of the permanent Museum display ,not the Italian car passion display which finishes tomorrow,the

31st.

I lurve the Fiat 8V. Whats the second from last pic, some sort of Siata or Osca?

[Iva Barchetta]

A Moretti.

Lots more pics tomorrow,including the stars of the show for me,new and old Alfa Romeo Disco Volantes.

Worth the trip just seeing those for me.

Some great cars, thanks for posting!

I only found out about the museum last year, and looking at the photos, it is definitely on the list!

[Iva Barchetta]

It's been on my list for ages but I thought parking was a problem.

It's not,there's a large area right outside that's also free to use.



More of the good pics later.

[Iva Barchetta]

At last,managed to upload the Disco Volante pics.

Original.

[Iva Barchetta]

New concept.

I've never seen an Iso Griffo with the weird bonnet and these headlights covered.

[galro]

The bonnet is due to it having the largest engine available fitted while the covers over the headlights are a feature of a the later facelifted series 2.

[Iva Barchetta]

Thanks for that.

Good knowledge....

A Alfa Romeo 2600 one-off by Pininfarina. Originally a spider, later modified to the coupe design you see there.
