Shame I missed it this year, it was rather fun last year.

Looking through my photobucket pics,found a few that could grace this thread.



Seen at the Nurburgring TF carpark,2009 or 10.



A Bizzarini at Brands Hatch

At a very wet Goodwood sprint event.

Not much Fiat left here.

Another often neglected Italian is the Giulia Mk2, the Nuova super.


Maybe not as handsome as the 60s Giulia, but hey: it's an Alfa!

Sorry to be a pedant but that's a Berlina, this is a Nuova Super,

The Nuova Super as you can see had the plastic grille and four same size headlights and it lost some of the chrome detailing of the previous model. At the rear the boot lid top was now flat and inside the centre console was tidied up and the main instruments were smaller. Think it was also the first Alfa passenger car to be sold with a diesel engine but could be wrong on this

That's Roger Wills stunning Iso. Glad to still see it running up and down on the tracks. I first saw the car when it was John Bendalls racer and fell in love with it. Hoping to see it at the Spa 6 hrs. It wasn't succesfull there yet. Maybe this year. 327 Chevy sounds like nothing else.

That is stunning the Buzarinis are just stunning, and that blue is perfect. I think there was a 275 gtb in that colour at a d'elagance some years ago, just blew me away. Such a 'sophisticated' colour. And you are right, the sound of the American engines are stunning, far better than I thought they would be.

More pics dinkel, I have a thing for Mr. Bizzarini!

Google 'dinkel bizzarrini' and maybe at 'spa' or 'pistonheads' and you're in for a treat.

After an Alfa GTV Spider and a 166, I decided to go completely off the reservation and got myself one of these..

Kudo's. Love that. How are the tires? Saw a lot of examples with heavy wear at the outside of the tire.

A Gandini piece right?

[galaxie5000]

A gandini piece indeed. Acquired three weeks ago from a distinguished gent who had 2 other masers in his stable..amazingly has had it from new so 18 years and has reached 175 k miles as a daily driver. Before anyone says that it proves Italian cars take mileage, the amount spent on the old girl is staggering. Bills for £35 k in the Last 5 years alone!!
Consequently just about everything has been renewed at some point. I'm just trying to enjoy it while it lasts..
